True or false: Unethical behavior is best defined as anything that is in violation of a prof. code of ethics?

In counseling and psychotherapy practice would is it true that unethical behavior BEST be defined as anything that is in violation of a professional code of ethics? Why or why not?True or false: Unethical behavior is best defined as anything that is in violation of a prof. code of ethics?
Yes! But it is a hard thing to define. While certain nations such as the UK have NHS and teaching practices (if you break them you get struck off). There are varying other bodies for other practices that differ there are many teaching societies etc... all whose ethical codes differ slightly. Also ethics doesn't always mean the same as law. For example, in the Fillipines hacking is not illegal however would still be considered unethical by computer societies and the industry at large.
