6 Ethics CEs
Program Description:
For close to 30 years, The Trust has been providing continuing education
workshops and individual consultations with a focus on improving
psychologists’ risk management skills and strategies. These workshops
have evolved from basic concepts and strategies, to a more applied,
integrated, and strategic approach to help you protect yourself from
adverse disciplinary and legal actions and to support competent practice.
For this newest workshop, The Trust Risk Management Consultants
have continued to review data from nearly 90,000 consultations provided
to date, along with relevant research, to determine the problems
practitioners often confront, and potential strategies for addressing
them. The topics in this new workshop will include an updated review
of decision science and its implications for bias and vulnerability in
clinical, ethical and risk management decision making, strategies for
reducing the impact of these vulnerabilities, issues arising in remote
services (during and beyond the pandemic), addressing boundaries in
advocacy by professionals on behalf of their clients/patients, and the risk-management implications of self-care (or its absence) for psychologists.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe three general challenges to unbiased decision-making
- Identify three vulnerabilities that can affect clinician decision-making, in particular
- List four strategies to address decision-making bias and improve ethical and risk management choices
- Summarize three risk-related aspects to remote service provision
- Differentiate general areas in which professional advocacy is and is not appropriate
- Identify two issues when psychotherapy patients make quasi-forensic requests
- Evaluate three methods of engaging in self-care to support better practice and risk-management
