Code of Ethics for PNV Axis Vision Practitioners
Preamble
In the best interests of their clients and anyone seeking their guidance, PNV Axis Vision practitioners commit to the following Code of Ethics.
PNV is a natural method for regulating nervous system function through visual exercises. As practiced by PNV Axis Vision practitioners, this training is neither a medical diagnosis nor a medical treatment and is not intended to replace either.
ARTICLE 1. Practice of PNV Neuro-Visual Training
Practitioners work on the basis of training certified by the PNV Institute and their professional experience, while following the established protocol and training approach. They undertake to keep their knowledge up to date through all appropriate means.
ARTICLE 2. Relationship of Trust
Practitioners strive to establish a relationship of trust with their clients in a spirit of mutual respect and goodwill. They do not make diagnoses or prescribe a specific number of sessions, as each person’s brain has its own capacity for plasticity.
Practitioners take into account the information that clients choose to share with them and use it to define appropriate goals. They conduct themselves with complete integrity and undertake to regularly review with clients the changes they have experienced, as well as any changes observed by those close to them.
ARTICLE 3. Respect for Individuals
Practitioners carry out their work in accordance with the fundamental rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They respect each client’s identity, dignity, freedom, beliefs, and moral and religious values, and refrain from any form of proselytism.
ARTICLE 4. Confidentiality
In accordance with applicable law, practitioners undertake to respect their duty of professional confidentiality and to ensure that all information concerning clients and those close to them remains strictly confidential.
ARTICLE 5. Requesting PNV Sessions
The decision to begin PNV sessions is the responsibility of the individual concerned or their legal representative. The same applies to the decision to end the sessions.
ARTICLE 6. Working with Clients
Before sessions begin, practitioners explain the PNV method and inform clients of their fees and how the sessions are conducted. Fees are clearly displayed at the practitioner’s office.
ARTICLE 7. Declining or ending work with a client
Practitioners may decline to work with a client or may end the sessions if they consider that certain factors could interfere with their proper conduct or reduce their effectiveness.
ARTICLE 8. Practice Environment
Practitioners carry out their work in an environment suitable for PNV practice and compliant with applicable safety and hygiene standards. When sessions take place in a client’s home, practitioners also ensure that confidentiality is respected.
ARTICLE 9. Respect for other practitioners
Practitioners are expected to show discretion and respect towards their fellow practitioners, including those who practice other methods derived from the work of Georges Quertant.
Practitioners must refrain from:
– Any action, attempt, or statement that could directly or indirectly harm the reputation of another practitioner or adversely affect their professional activity.
– Using methods incompatible with the dignity of the profession, in particular making false or misleading statements or publishing false or misleading advertisements or other material.
ARTICLE 10. Development of PNV
Practitioners must ensure that their words, conduct, and professional practice do not harm the reputation of PNV. They undertake to communicate and share any information that may contribute to the development of PNV and the improvement of its practice.
ARTICLE 11. Practitioners’ commitment
Practitioners may state in any professional communication relating to their work that they have made a written commitment to comply with the association’s Code of Ethics.
