CLASS INFORMATION
Description:
How do we practice safely and ethically in working with our patients and colleagues? We will cover various approaches to ethics, including possible unconscious issues, such as transference and countertransference reactions, including idealization. We also will discuss examples of ethical dilemmas with patients of all ages, parents, colleagues, and supervisors. We will provide selected readings and facilitate open class discussion during four one-hour sessions.
CME Objectives:
- Discuss at least two ethical issues from the beginning to the post-termination phases of treatment.
- Describe and discuss at least two ethical issues in teaching, supervision, and clinical writing.
- Apply what you’ve learned from readings and discussion to prevent ethical lapses and boundary violations.
