~OFFERING 3 ETHICS CEs~

The Bruce Wine Memorial Fund and ICP+P present:

 The play, Dinner with Friends, by Donald Margulies, is a cautionary tale about the vagaries of compatibility and commitment in long-term relationships—platonic, professional, romantic, and familial. The play will be presented as a parable about complex questions in clinical practice that have neither easy nor proscribed answers:

“What unconscious personal biases and values inform therapist ethical decision making?”

“Am I a ‘good enough’ therapist—for this patient, at this time?

“Are my co-therapist and I an effective therapeutic team?”

“Is being a psychotherapist (still) a vocational choice I want to commit to?”

This interactive program will give participants an opportunity to explore these and related questions, as they might be relevant to their clinical practice.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Recognize ethical issues related to effective working relationships—between therapist and client, colleague-to-colleague, and self to the profession.
2. Identify personal values and biases that inform ethical decision making in clinical practice.
3. Apply a collaborative decision making process to the resolution of ethical dilemmas.

This conference is appropriate for clinicians at all levels of experience.
