In this presentation, participants will discover how to: 1. Identify the wide range of ethical issues wrapped up in what clients bring to therapy; 2. Develop skills in ethical consultation while respecting client autonomy; 3. See how we can make a difference in the broader society via being a “citizen therapist.”
