ITSP Values

The principles that guide us in everything we do

Respect for Every Human Story

Every person carries a unique personal, familial, and generational history. We approach these stories with respect, sensitivity, and without judgement, acknowledging both what has been transmitted and what each person chooses to create for themselves.

Understanding Before Interpretation

We value curiosity over assumptions. Transgenerational perspectives should open questions rather than impose explanations. We seek to understand patterns, relationships, contexts, and meanings without reducing a person’s present life to their family history.

Freedom Beyond Inheritance

We recognize the influence of previous generations without considering the past a destiny. Understanding what has been inherited can create greater freedom to choose what to preserve, what to transform, and what not to carry forward.

Professional and Ethical Responsibility

Our work is grounded in professional ethics, clear boundaries, and respect for the limits of our field. We distinguish education, training, personal development, and transgenerational exploration from psychotherapy, psychological or medical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.

Dialogue Across Disciplines

Transgenerational phenomena cannot be understood through a single perspective. We encourage dialogue between psychology, psychotherapy, psychodrama, sociology, anthropology, history, neuroscience, and other relevant fields, while respecting the evidence, methods, and limitations of each discipline.

Connection Across Generations

We see generations not only as carriers of difficulties, but also as sources of knowledge, resilience, values, resources, and belonging. Our work seeks to create meaningful dialogue between past, present, and future generations.

Ethics Code

This Ethics Code applies to psychologists’ scientific, educational, and professional activities. It covers clinical, counseling, and school practice, research, teaching, supervision, public service, policy development, social intervention, assessment, educational counseling, organizational consulting, forensic activities, program design, evaluation, and administration.

The Ethics Code applies across diverse contexts, including in-person, postal, telephone, Internet, and other electronic transmissions. These activities are distinct from psychologists’ purely private conduct, which is not within the scope of the Ethics Code.
