When you sit down with a therapist, you trust them with your most private thoughts. But what keeps that trust safe? The etický kodex psychoterapeutů, soubor povinností, které každý český terapeut musí dodržovat podle zákona a profesních sdružení. Also known as profesionální etický standard, it isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s your legal and moral shield in therapy. Without it, therapy could become dangerous, manipulative, or even abusive. In the Czech Republic, this code is enforced by the Česká společnost pro psychoterapii, hlavní profesní organizace, která stanovuje základní pravidla pro všechny členy, and it applies to every licensed practitioner, whether they work in Prague or a small town in Moravia.
One of the most important rules is důvěrnost v terapii, závazná povinnost terapeuta chránit všechny informace, které klient sdělí, i když jde o závažné záležitosti jako násilí nebo sebevražedné myšlenky. This means your therapist can’t tell your boss, your partner, or even your doctor—unless you’re in immediate danger. But here’s what most people don’t know: if you record a session without consent, you’re breaking this rule too. And if a therapist shares your story on social media, even anonymously, they’re violating the code. The práva klienta, zahrnují nejen soukromí, ale i právo na jasnou informaci o metodě, nákladech a možnostech ukončení terapie—no vague promises, no hidden fees, no pressure to stay longer than you want.
Some therapists push boundaries—flirting, accepting gifts, or giving advice outside their expertise. That’s not therapy. That’s exploitation. The code says: the relationship must stay professional. If your therapist talks more about themselves than you, or pushes their religious beliefs on you, you have every right to walk out. And if you feel unsafe, you can report them to the etika psychoterapie, systém, který umožňuje klientům podávat stížnosti a vyžadovat vyšetřování. You don’t need a lawyer. You don’t need to prove anything beyond your own experience. Your gut feeling matters.
That’s why the posts here cover real situations: whether it’s about recording sessions, dealing with a therapist who ignores GDPR, or wondering why your therapist keeps canceling appointments. These aren’t abstract rules—they’re tools you can use to protect yourself. You’re not being difficult if you ask for clarity. You’re not being rude if you set limits. And you’re not failing if you decide to leave a therapist who doesn’t respect the code. The best therapy happens when both sides follow the rules. And now, you know exactly what those rules are.
