Charter 1: In relation to clients who consult therapists

1/ Respect the client's freedom of choice

1. At all times, the client should have the freedom to choose the practitioner they consult. Clients may, if they deem it appropriate, consult multiple practitioners, in the same practice or use different approaches and therapies.
2. A followin-up appointment following a session should not be systematic, except at the request of the client themselves. Their choice must be free at all times and their freedom must remain inalienable.
3. A session never constitutes an obligation for subsequent sessions, regardless of the number of previous sessions (one or dozens).
4. The practitioner must always respect this freedom for the person who comes to consult them, but without ever giving them the feeling of "creating distance" or "abandoning them".

2/ Respect the ongoing process

1. The practitioner always supposed accompanies the client's ongoing process of self-discovery and will not provide any supposed 'help' or advice that would in any way hinder them in their journey or self-realization.
2. The practitioner never sees refusal as resistance, but rather as an expression of something important to recognize, which allows them to refine their support of the client towards themselves.
3. The practitioner does not cling to any theory in which the client should "fit". Practitioners remain flexible in order to offer support to clients that is adapted to the reality of the person being helped.

3/ Practitioners are in a warm and benevolent neutrality towards clients

1. The practitioner should never make any value judgment, neither towards the client, nor towards their loved ones, even if they are a source of torment.
2. The practitioner is not meant to ever encourage the slightest distance from loved ones, whether they are parents, children, or spouses, even if they are a source of torment. Even when a physical distance of safety is necessary, due to the fact that a loved one exhibits or commits dangerous behaviours for which they must legally answer, while respecting the law, the practitioner is not supposed to induce any psychological distance.
3. The practitioner is supposed to neither encourage reproach, nor counsel hatred, nor forgiveness, but he should accompany the subject towards what manifests in them, towards what allows them to constitute themself, to assert themselves and to find themselves in an understanding and appeasement likely to cause no harm to anyone. If it is obvious that there can be no appeasement as long as there is hatred, the clumsy and premature eradication of it can constitute harmful violence for the subject.

Charter 2: In relation to other practitioners

1/ About their competence

The practitioner has a responsibility for the image of the profession vis-à-vis their colleagues

1. A practitioner offering help in Maieusthesia has received training that allows them to practice with the required skills. They have taken courses, received personal therapy sessions, etc. Practitiones also follow sustained supervision at the beginning of their practice as a practitioner (sessions that can then be spaced out as they gain experience).
2. The practitioner, in order to properly take care of the people they counsel, is supposed to also take care of themselves, regarding their personal journey. It is not conceivable to help others without taking care of one's own life and personal journey.
3. However, it is not a question here for the practitioner of achieving a kind of personal perfection, but simply to be on their journey. A practitioner who considers themselves as "having seen it all" and "being perfect" would in fact be dangerous.

2/ Attitude towards colleagues

The Maieusthesian practitioner is willing to collaborate with any practitioner from any other therapeutic method or discipline to help provide quality psychological help for clients who consult them.

1. The practitioner remains open to other approaches practiced by colleagues, even if they remain circumspect about approaches where principles may come into opposition with those of Maieusthesia.
2. The practitioner is never to position themselves as the exclusive provider of help that could hinder the possibility for a client who consults them from seeking and gaining help from other colleagues, whether they are practitioners in Maieusthesia or in any other discipline.
3. The practitioner remains in a spirit of research that allows for the integration of other approaches and the enrichment of the field of Maieusthesia and will share the fruits of their advances with their colleagues.

3/ Attitude towards confidentiality

1. The practitioner has a duty of confidentiality regarding the content of conversations with clients who consult them. Nothing that has been entrusted to them can be shared with anyone, except anonymously, in a way that does not identify the individual. Confidentiality applies to not sharing anything "non-anonymously" with strangers, family members, a spouse, or even a colleague.
2. There is an exception to confidentiality when the client agrees to have their conversation shared, for example to transmit information to another practitioner that they are seeing.
3. Another exception is made in the event of a major danger, in legal situations where the law does not allow confidentiality, both out of respect for the law and out of ethics.
4. Client files, especially case files, must be kept secure at all times.
