This paper presents the preliminary findings of an ongoing investigation that will explore psychoethics within the context of clinical and health psychology in Mexico. The primary aim of this research is to ascertain whether factors such as academic background, clinical experience, institutional affiliation, and particularly the predominant intervention model employed, are associated with professionals' ethical perspectives, their approach to ethical dilemmas, their appraisal of alternative therapeutic modalities, and the perceived necessity of a common and unified ethical framework. The presentation will elucidate how the current phase of this research involves a comprehensive systematic review of the international literature –grounded in the PRISMA methodology– pertaining to psychoethics in clinical practice, the perception of intervention effectiveness, the perception of psychoethics itself, and ethical decision-making processes. This endeavor seeks to establish a robust overview of the current state of the field and to provide a solid foundation for subsequent stages of the research to be conducted.

    Furthermore, this work constitutes a significant part of an active movement within the country dedicated to advancing the understanding and reinforcement of integrative ethical practice in clinical and health psychology. It is anticipated that the preliminary and future findings will contribute to the development of more robust training programs, the identification of areas for improvement in clinical supervision, and the eventual creation of integrative ethical practice guidelines and unified deontological codes that will benefit both professionals and service users in the Mexican psychological healthcare landscape.
