Development of legal framework within educational and professional psychologist practice in the Republic of Latvia

The aim of the research was to trace psychologist practice and educational develop-
ment, as well as development of psychologist legal framework in the Republic of Latvia,
by paying special attention to the essence of the Psychologist Law and related problems.
Psychologist Law promulgation has created necessary preconditions, in order to
arrange the system of Latvian psychologist professional practice. However, no law is able
to solve all challenges observed in any profession. It is clear that among such challenges
there are not only different procedures, for example, psychologist registration, certifica-
tion and recertification, but also professional improvement regulation and creation of
good professional practice, and also constant progress of existing question about psy-
chologist ethical professional practice, clearly positioning his service.
