The Therapist as Ethicist (3 CEUs)

What to Do When Professional and Humanistic Ethics Collide (3 CEUs) Seattle University MAP Program and Psychotherapy Cooperative are pleased to offer this joint CEU event! This course will cover a host of ways in which, paradoxically, psychotherapists can compromise the quality of care offered to clients when they adhere to narrow definitions of professional ethics in the everyday world of clinical practice. This course will address these topics and questions in highly practical ways to help participants be more aware of the pitfalls associated with seemingly benign ways of employing professional ethics and the gains that can be yielded in therapeutic effectiveness by prioritizing humanistic ethics of care. Case vignettes will be inserted throughout the presentation to ground research findings and theoretical ideas in a manner that renders them more clinically useful.
