Ethics in the Mental Health Caring Professions

The Danish Society for Person-Centred and Experiential Psychotherapy / Dansk Selskab for Personcentreret og Oplevelsesorienteret Psykoterapi (DSPOP) is offering this three-day Seminar on Ethics in the Mental Health Care Professions in collaboration with European Network for Person-Centred and Experiential Psychotherapy and Counselling (PCE-Europe)

Content:

This seminar will help you develop a better understanding of ethics and how ethics relate to the quality of your clinical practice. Ethics is a skill, you can cultivate .We believe that with this seminar you will be better equipped to avoid or resolve ethical issues, and if that is not possible, to ask for support and help.

We will use PCE Europe’s basic Ethics Framework as starting point and inspiration for a discusion of ethics. As mental health professionals, we work very closely with people, and our primary instrument is the relationship itself, along with the setting or framework that we create. Beyond any methods or standards, this relationship is governed by ethics—by the question,

“What do we owe to each other?” (T. M. Scanlon).

What can you expect from this Seminar:

– What is Ethics and the difference with other concepts.

– What is the connection with mental health practices

– What are the basic Ethical Principles that create the setting for the practice

– How can I look at an ethical issue and how can I make an ethical decision
