Transforming the way you live and work in the world

Wrestling with Ethical Dilemmas

For clinicians, consultants and coaches, the subject of ethics is too often addressed in an oversimplified, legalistic, cover-your-bases way that primarily involves an orientation to the relevant professional written codes, and the consequences of violating them.

The dilemma of ethics, however, is the endless potential individual interpretation and application to each situation, often necessarily undertaken without the benefit of consultation or collaboration. This workshop takes a step beyond the basics to explore the relationship between these codes, the underlying individual and cultural values that shape individuals, and the real-life contradictions and complexities that produce ethical
dilemmas. Participants will be encouraged to bring their cases and share the issues they face in their own practices.

Benefits

Participants will:

  • Explore issues with ethical implications in their own practice areas and caseloads.
  • Develop awareness of the relationship between their personal needs, individual practice values and professional responsibilities.
  • Clarify their personal approach to ethical dilemmas.
  • Understand the consequences of their choices.
  • Develop a plan that includes supervision, feedback, and a network of support to gain perspective when approaching ethical dilemmas.
  • Have an opportunity for extensive practice.

Participants

This workshop is appropriate for organizational consultants, executive coaches, clinicians, and other advisors seeking clarity concerning ethical issues.

“As an organizational and leadership development coach based on Cape Cod, I was thrilled to learn of GISC as a local resource. I attended two workshops last year. The
take-aways for me were the opportunity to be introduced to the Gestalt model and the privilege of connecting with a group of passionate, knowledgeable, interested, and
interesting people - both participants and staff. At both workshops, I experienced several consecutive days of non-stop intellectual and emotional challenges, and observed highly skilled faculty and facilitators in action.”

“GISC has been an invaluable continuing education resource for me in my work as a consulting psychologist. I have found the many faculty members I have learned
from to be consistently welcoming and highly competent and experienced professionals. The training has helped
me to become a more present, comfortable, and prepared consultant in my work with organizations in the mental health field.”
