Abstract
This chapter provides details of the 1986 and 2002 (current) versions of the Code of Ethics for psychologists working in Aotearoa New Zealand. Particular attention is paid to the context within which these Codes were developed, and highlights the significant shift in thinking which led to the striking difference between the two iterations of the Code.
