Clinical Ethics for Psychotherapists

with Dr. Ernest Wallwork

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Dr. Ernest Wallwork is a Professor of Ethics at Syracuse University and a psychoanalyst in private practice in Washington DC and Syracuse, New York. In this two-session videoconference course, Dr. Wallwork will probe the neglected issue of how to think ethically about interventions within a clinical hour. Each seminar will be focus on a case presentation that will (1) illustrate typical ethical issues encountered in psychotherapy, (2) help to differentiate the therapist’s dispositional role responses (virtues) from his/her normative judgments, and (3) demonstrate ethical (as well as technical) reasoning about transference and countertransference issues and various possible alternative interventions. Chaired by Caroline Sehon, Chair of IPI Metro in Washington DC. CE Credits in Ethics Education are currently required for licensing renewal of mental health professions in Utah.
