Description

Ethics Dilemmas Are Not as Clearly Defined as the Law
Ethics is much more than just "the law." Therapists regularly encounter ethical dilemmas that are not as clearly defined, and they must be informed in order to make sound decisions.

During this webinar, participants will examine how personal values help to determine professional conduct, and the reasons that professionals make ethical mistakes. Dr. Patterson will also focus on the issue of cultural competency, as she reveals what cultural issues the therapists, as well as the clients, bring into a therapy session. Participants will use case examples to encourage self-exploration and practice determining appropriate courses of action.
