Course Description & Educational Goals
In this Law & Ethics update, we will review recent changes to state law, discuss the role of technology in modern practice, and engage in a deep discussion of the morals and values that underlie individual ethical decision-making processes. Difficult decisions without clear or easy answers will be the focus of the day. Through the use of case examples, this workshop will show how our individual morals and values influence therapy work even when we seek to appear neutral; how to identify your own morals and values relevant to your practice; and why owning those values matters.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Articulate the impacts of three recent changes in California law impacting mental health practice.
2. Differentiate between a personal opinion, a clinical opinion, advice-giving, and imposing personal values
3. Construct a framework for clinical and ethical decision-making that integrates personal morals and values in a manner that is within professional ethical boundaries and appropriate to their clientele
4. Identify three common frameworks for making value-based decisions
5. Identify at least two implications from court cases involving mental health students’ moral decision- making.
