dc.descriptionEthical perfection is, perhaps, a utopian ideal,since human beings, including positive psychology practitioners (PPPs), are fallible, vulnerable, and imperfect. The complexities of contemporary life, such as ever-expanding cyber-living, erratic climate change, refugee crises, evolving identities, and increasing economic polarisation, exacerbate human vulnerabilities. Psychological services, especially ones with an explicit aim of restoring or enhancing wellbeing, are not easily offered without competing priorities and ethical dilemmas. No single set of ethical guidelines, standards, or even statutes can fully encapsulate the range of human complexities. A set of broad-based values, personal strengths, and principles, nonetheless can guide us to more ethical decision making, especially when we use positive psychological interventions (PPIs), which generically aim to enhance wellbeing.
