Un dilema ético surge cuando entran en colisión dos deberes de obligado cumplimiento o, dicho de otra manera, cuando la única forma de cumplir con una obligación sea infringiendo otra. Se entiende por secreto profesional la obligación por parte de quienes ejercen ciertas profesiones de no revelar datos conocidos en el ejercicio de su profesión. Este deber, está protegido por la Ley y por los Códigos deontológicos y sólo podremos ser liberados de él, por imperativo legal o para evitar un daño a terceras personas, al paciente, o al mismo psicólogo. En situaciones de conflicto relacionadas con el deber de confidencialidad, no se pueden establecer reglas fijas sino que habría que valorar y ponderar las circunstancias de cada caso concreto de acuerdo a las normas legales y éticas y haciendo, con prudencia, un balance de la magnitud del daño (mayor o menor) y la probabilidad de que éste se produzca (alta o baja) Es importante que informemos a nuestros usuarios al inicio de la relación profesional, en el proceso de consentimiento informado, de los límites, según la Ley, del mantenimiento de la confidencialidad.
An ethical dilemma arises when two duties of mandatory fulfilment enter collision or when the only way of fulfilling an obligation is transgressing another one. Professional confidentiality is the duty of those with certain professions of not revealing information known in their professional practice. It is protected by Law and by Ethical Codes and exceptions to it will only apply to legal inperatives or to avoid harming to third people, to the patient or to the same psychologist. Fixed rules cannot be established in conflictive situations related to the duty of confidentiality. According to the legislation and the ethical principles and standards, we would have to evaluate and to consider each individual circumstance working with prudence a balance between: 1) magnitude of harm (major or minor) and 2) probability of it taking place (high or low). According to the Law, it is important to inform our users at the beginning of the professional relationship in the process of the informed consent and the limits about the maintenance of the confidentiality.
