Abstract

Law Number 23 of 2022 concerning Psychology Education and Services is a law that has just been passed as a government implementation in providing protection for the psychology profession and society, with this law it is hoped that it can provide legal certainty to those who need it. However, there are still deficiencies and overlapping regulations that need to be reviewed regarding the application of this law later. This study uses a normative juridical approach that functions to review laws based on scientific and relevant literature reviews. Based on the research results, there are critical points in this law, such as registration certificates for non-health psychologists and psychology education schemes that are required to conform to Law no. 23 Year 2022 in 2 years time. Based on the results of the study, researchers see the need for alignment between psychology professional organizations, the Ministry of Education and Culture, and also the Ministry of Health in solving this problem.
