Psychologists consider a dual role and psychological practice unethical when it compromises their ability to fulfill their professional responsibilities, maintain objectivity, or protect the well-being and rights of their clients or patients. While not all dual roles are inherently unethical, there are specific situations where psychologists generally agree that dual relationships should be avoided due to the potential for harm or ethical violations.
