Ethical Decision Making: A Vignette-based Approach
Date:
Saturday, May 17, 2008 Location: Directions (free valet parking available) Workshop Description: This ethics workshop will address ethical decision-making, the relationship between ethics and law with specific attention to New Hampshire state law, and ways to minimize exposure to legal and ethical liability. This workshop will include a discussion of the APA Ethics Code, with a focus on the structure of the Code and specific ethical standards that are especially relevant to clinical practice. The program will emphasize how psychologists can use the APA Ethics Code to facilitate ethical decision-making. Case vignettes will be used to illustrate ethical decision-making applied in actual clinical practice. About the Presenter: Dr. Stephen H.
