a seminar with Jonathan Young presented by
![]()
More than a review of rules, this course strives to draw out the best in dedicated practitioners. The focus is on appreciating the values that attract people to the work of helping others. This day aims to inspire clinicians to claim their personal systems of applied ethics. To this end, the course examines familiar stories about admirable professionals from a range of occupations. The goal is to evoke the essence of integrity. Ethics in depth involves awareness of our own personal qualities and counter-transference. It takes more than a good working knowledge of regulations to put values into practice on a daily basis. Attention is given to what moves distinguished colleagues to meet high standards consistently with grace.
The course also reviews the legal framework of independent practice. Topics include variations of informed consent, privacy (confidentiality and privilege), hazardous situations, professional competence, and boundary issues.
