Have you considered using Ethics rather than Morality ?
I hear the word morality and immediately assume the speaker/writer is arguing from a religious point of view.
- jrkatz 13y agoMorality is the right word, though; this is not ethics. It is unethical no matter what for psychologists to date their patients. It is not unethical for you to date one of their patients. Maybe a given psychologist is definitely not abusing their power/role in their relationship with a patient, and is sure that they are still an effective psychologist for their patient/lover. Then it may be morally OK (depending on your moral code), but it is still unethical.

It was a fixed moral code and a fixed theology which robbed the human race of a thousand years by wasting them upon alchemy, heretic-burning, witchcraft and sacerdotalism." -- H.L. Mencken Morality is the wrong word to use. It is also highly subjective. Whose morality is this guy even talking about? What does it mean to increase morality? Mencken again: "Immorality is the morality of those who are having a better time. You will never convince the average farmer's mare that the late Maud S. was not dreadfully immoral."
