Summary/Abstract: Given the situation in Romania, where the field of the moral expertise and of the application of the ethical decision methods in psychology is hardly at the beginning, in the conditions where the practice imposes the use of moral deliberation tools, we chose to present in this text only those methods (the casuistic method, the principlism method) which are placed at a certain distance from the philosophical controversies related to the application of the theories; these methods should be successfully applied by the psychology practitioners – who do not have an expertise in the ethical theories, but which allows them to successfully solve the complicated situations and the ethical dilemmas in the developed actions.
