Ethics Update: What's Hot and What's Not

Friday, June 22, 2012 - 9:00am-4:00pm

Presenter: Gerald P. Koocher, PhD, ABPP

Capitol Plaza Hotel Montpelier, VT 05602

In the world mental health practice and research advances in the field and changes in society constantly create new new ethical challenges. At the same time, some things don't change in the sense that mental health professionals still get into the same sorts of challenging ethical situations that have repeated over many years of clear professional standards. This workshop will address "What's hot," in terms of newly evolving issues attracting considerable recent attention; and "What's not," in terms of persistent ethical challenges among the mental health professions.
