“Cat and Mouse – The Ethical Crucible in Psychotherapy Practice”
We all want definitive answers and tell right from wrong. Ethical questions are context bound however and ethical perspectives necessarily reflect situational contexts, including for examples a person’s roles and responsibilities. Ethical principles and guidelines cannot free us from daubt. Such limitations may suggest impotency to some but paradoxically, these limitations are also a crucial source of ethical potency.
10.30 – 11.15 Marie Christine Soulie (SFU-Paris) (Presentation and discussion)
“Teaching Ethics in Psychotherapy Training – What does this mean?”
Teaching ethics means to provide psychotherapists with tools to answer ethics and legal requirements.It mainly aims at helping the professionals to be able to cope with ethical dilemnas and make decisions. They should become able to find the appropriate solution to the circumstances they are facing, as no “ready-made response is available . It means that besides the knowledge of the rules (legal provisions and principles developped in ethics code), the training should focus on a case-based teaching and adapt to society evolution.
