Presentation: This training is designed for both administrative and clinical staff members interested in ethical problem solving and legal risk management strategies. During this training, participants will learn techniques for analyzing and resolving ethical dilemmas. We will use small group interactions to resolve real world examples of ethical dilemmas and participants will be allowed to share examples of issues from their own professional experiences. Special emphasis will be placed on the application of ethics to the treatment of individuals with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health problems.
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
- Detail how legal and ethical issues are addressed by relevant professional organizations;
- Articulate similarities and differences between the various codes of clinical ethics presented in the class;
- Explain how to reconcile differences between codes of ethics when treating individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse problems;
- Describe the concept of power differential as it relates to client- therapist, client-agency, and supervisor- supervisee relationships; and
