The Ethical Lives of Clients: What Therapists Can Offer

$169.99 Standard

Clients regularly seek our input on a wide range of ethical dilemmas. Should they divorce? Cut off a difficult family member? Keep or reveal a family secret? End or continue an affair? Yet our field is largely silent on the role we ought to play in the ethical part of clients’ lives. Though it’s something we often already do in the privacy of sessions, how can we better embrace our roles as ethical consultants and develop actual skills in this area of practice? How can we help clients deepen their understanding of their ethical challenges, rather than reduce moral complexity to clinical clichés—like “do what feels right”—or the pretense that we always have the right answer for them? In this recording, you’ll discover how to:

  • Identify the wide range of ethical issues wrapped up in what clients bring to therapy
  • Describe how advances in moral psychology can apply to therapy
  • Recognize your own moral emotions and those of your clients
  • Develop skills in ethical consultation, including respect for client autonomy

Here's What You'll Learn

  • Clinical case study
  • Defining the ethical domain in clients’ lives
  • How therapists often deal with ethical concerns of clients and why
  • The psychology of moral emotions
  • Skills in ethical consultation
  • Question and answer

Everything You're Getting

  • More than 2 hours of video content
  • CE information to come
  • Handouts and resources
