What Is the Role of Ethics in Psychiatry?

Sexual ethics is a discipline that studies sexual moral phenomena and its nature and laws. It is both a branch of sexology and a branch of ethics.

Sex ethics, as one of the humanities, is the accumulation of human experience and wisdom about the practice of sexual ethics.

Sexual ethics

Research ethics has both theoretical and practical significance. Its theoretical significance is that sexual ethics can reflect the phenomenon of sexual morality in the form of scientific and theoretical thinking, reveal the origin, formation, development, and evolution of sexual morality and its nature, special characteristics, and social effects, so that people can rationally Grasp the nature of sexual morality, predict the development trend of sexual morality, and effectively play the social role of sexual morality. Its practical significance lies in the fact that sexual ethics can summarize the sexual moral principles and norms of a certain society or class according to the interests of a certain society and class to guide the sexual awareness of members of the statute society,

Sexual ethics, as a rational reflection of human sexual relations and sexual morality, originated from ancient times

Sexual ethics is the study of sexual morality as the object of study. Sexual morality has a complex internal structure, and it is an organic complex composed of phenomena of sexual morality awareness, norms of sexual morality, and phenomena of sexual moral activity. The research field of sexual ethics is based on the different characteristics and connotations of these three phenomena.

At the 5th International Sexology Conference held in Jerusalem in 1981, the participants unanimously proposed that the goal of sexology research before 2000 should be to establish a systematic sexual philosophy system. Sex ethics, as a branch of ethics, should be an important part of this system.

As an independent discipline, sexual ethics is still in its pioneering and preliminary development stages. From an international perspective, some well-known sexual psychologists, such as HH Charles, S. Freud, and others, have devoted a lot of space in their works, specifically addressing sexual ethics. In the middle of the 20th century, sexologists constructed a modern sexual ethics characterized by the "sex revolution". In recent years, monographs on the topic of "sex ethics" have been published in some developed countries. However, widely accepted monographs on sexual ethics have not yet come out, and a comprehensive and recognized sexual ethics system has not yet been formed. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in China, with the in-depth development of reform and opening up and the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, the study of sexual ethics has shown a scene of prosperity. Some ethicists and ethicists have published many valuable academic works and dissertations, criticized feudal and bourgeois rotten moral values, promoted socialist moral values, and initially constructed a theoretical system of socialist ethics. . But it should also be seen that, as a complete and systematic scientific system, socialist ethics is still in its infancy. Establishing and improving its theoretical system in practice, enriching and enriching its specific content, and establishing a socialist ethics with Chinese characteristics are important ethical issues facing it. ^[1]
