Ethical Dilemmas in Clinical Practice
In this highly interactive three hour training, we will explore, in creative and fun ways, both the NASW and The Board of Social Examiners Code of Ethics and process the many red flags that indicate a possible deviation in the standard of care. Issues including: confidentiality; general conduct; the client-therapist relationship; sexual misconduct; boundaries; conflicts of interest; and termination will be discussed. Using case vignettes and video clips from popular films, participants will have the opportunity to discuss a wide variety of clinical scenarios that both subtly and overtly challenge professional ethics and trigger counter-transferential responses in the helping professional. This is an ethics workshop that will actually keep you interested and engaged!
