Psychologists and counselors are often faced with situations that require sound ethical decision-making ability. Determining the appropriate course to take when faced with a difficult ethical dilemma can be a challenge. To assist in meeting these challenges, the Oklahoma Psychological Association is presenting a one-day seminar on Ethical Decision-Making. The intent of this seminar is to offer empirically-base information, resources, and information to help the clinician to develop a deeper understanding of ethical decision-making, as well as utilize a model that addresses the many ethical questions in their work.
Format:
The morning session will consist of a didactic presentation by Dr. Ryan P. Brown, focusing on the most recent research and models of ethical decision making.
The afternoon session will consist of a panel discussion. The panel will consist of several different professionals who practice in a range of settings in which they face unique ethical challenges. Each panelist will describe the setting in which they work, as well as the types of ethical challenges they experience. The floor will then be opened for audience participation.
