“We live either by an inner faith or are guided by outer circumstances.
Which is our path and on what do we depend as our guiding star?”
Dr. Randolph Stone, Health Building, Pg. 110
APTA Code of Ethics Preamble
Polarity practitioners respect the dignity and the worth of all individuals and endeavor to promote human rights. They are committed to furthering knowledge of human behavior, to fostering people’s understanding of themselves and others, and to using this knowledge to promote human well‐being. While striving for these goals, they conscientiously protect the welfare of their clients, students, and research participants (hereinafter referred to as consumers). They use professional skills only for purposes consistent with these values, and do not knowingly allow their misuse by others. While establishing for themselves freedom of inquiry and communication, Polarity practitioners and instructors accept the responsibility engendered by this freedom: competence, diligent and non‐prejudicial application of skills, and concern for the best interests of consumers, colleagues, and society at large.
