Shades of Gray: Ethics in Action!
Different traditions offer varying opinions on therapist self-disclosure. How can you determine whether a disclosure is appropriate in context, and adheres to the ethical treatment of a given client? This experiential workshop will use the technique of “future projection” to explore real-life, self-disclosures that therapists make to clients. In a lab-like setting, participants will have the opportunity to enact and discuss the ramifications of self-disclosure. In slowing down the process through action, “choice points” can be assessed, and different possibilities can be considered without negative consequences. Discussion and processing will round out the experiential focus as peers benefit from each other’s wisdom and perspectives. (Trainer: Linda Bianchi, LICSW, LCSW, TEP, TAKE ACTION)
Class 2 – 1:45pm – 4:45pm (3 Category I CEUs – Cultural Competence)
Believe it or Not! Developing Religious Competency in Mental Health Treatment
What do you do when a devoutly spiritual client comes to you, wants to include their spirituality in their treatment and you are not very familiar with their religion? Have you ever felt confused as to whether or not a client’s religion or spirituality was hurting them or helping them? Multicultural competency in the mental health professions includes knowledge of religious diversity. “Spirituality continues to be a salient aspect of human psychological functioning…” (Peidmont, 2004). Learning the basics of many religions and some foundational cross-cultural concepts and principles can equip you toward a more thorough religious competency.
This interactive training will help participants understand the basic teachings and practices of major world religions. Participants will learn how to address a client’s religion and spirituality, if and when to incorporate it into treatment, and some common issues pertinent to treating clients from different religions.
