The Therapist as Ethicist:

This course draws on findings from evidence-based practice, practice-based evidence, and theoretical frameworks to explore when and how psychotherapists might prioritize humanistic ethics when a more rigid implementation of professional ethics threatens to negatively impact the quality of client care. While the knowledge and clinical vignettes provided in this course will advance participants’ ability to more caringly and judiciously handle professional duties, including informed consent to treatment, boundary crossings, multicultural competence, and the upkeep of clinical competency-these are areas of ethical practice that require ongoing development above that which any single course can impart.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the course, mental health professionals will be able to:

• Discuss four ways in which the enactment of traditional informed consent procedures can have alienating effects on clients, and how these procedures might be handled from a humanistic ethics standpoint.

• Explain what metacompetencies are and why they are important aspects of clinical competency that psychotherapists have an ethical duty to maintain.

• Describe how true multicultural competence requires awareness of how individualistic values can be different from the norms often adopted by clients from collectivist cultures and nondominant groups.

• Define the concept of “moral injury” and the potential ethical obligation to treat psychological problems as moral injuries.
