Making Difficult Ethical Decisions in Psychotherapy

Presented by Maryanne Williams, Psy.D. & Braden Berkey, Psy.D.

Friday, February 22^nd

9:00 am to 1:00 pm – 4 continuing education units*

Using HIV case examples, this workshop outlines an ethical decision making process that participants can apply to their own clinical work. Use of this model raises the standard of practice, and provides psychotherapists with a defensible mechanism to engage when faced with difficult choices across a wide range of clinical issues and situations.

He previously served as the Director of Behavioral Health and Social Services at Howard Brown Health Center for six years. Dr. Williams is a psychotherapist in the HIV Care Program at Michael Reese Hospital. She is also the founder of Williams and Associates, a training and consultation firm.

This program was created by the American Psychological Association. The presenters completed the train-the-trainer course on this ethics model in Washington, D.C. this past November. To learn more about go to the APA HOPE program go here
