New Rules for the Psychology Profession and Mandatory Self-Government
The act introduces mandatory membership in a professional self-government and entry in the Register of Psychologists for all practicing psychologists. It sets new educational requirements, mandatory mentorship for beginners, and detailed disciplinary liability rules. For citizens, this means stronger legal protection of the 'psychologist' title, standardized psychological services, and greater data security and privacy.
Key points
The title 'psychologist' will be legally protected – using it without being in the Register is punishable by a fine or restriction of liberty.
Every psychologist must be entered in the Register of Psychologists and mandatorily belong to the professional self-government, which involves paying membership fees.
A mandatory mentorship period of at least 9 months with an experienced supervisor is introduced for beginners, without which they cannot independently provide certain services (e.g., for courts).
Professional secrecy, rules for keeping and storing psychological records, and obtaining consent for services (including from minors over 16) are regulated in detail.
Violating ethical principles or regulations results in disciplinary liability – from a reprimand and fine, through suspension of the right to practice, up to its complete revocation.
