Our third course on ethics focuses on how shifts in our sense of identity can influence decision-making. Developing more complex access to inner states opens the possibility of working with others at deeper levels. This enhanced quality of engagement presents unique ethical challenges.
The course format includes storytelling and discussion. We will explore the enduring classic Peter Pan to learn from the adventures of Wendy and the boys. We will also reflect on the story’s origins as presented in the film, Finding Neverland.
There is no need to do advance reading or see the movie versions. We will view not films, as the storytelling summarizes the tales sufficiently to discuss the symbolism.
While the course does include updates on standard of care such as informed consent, duty to warn, and mandated reporting (very similar in content to those brief sections of our earlier ethics courses) – mainly, the day is a philosophical exploration of ethical behavior. It is open to anyone interested in honoring their best qualities and values.
This course meets mandated Law & Ethics requirements for Psychology, MFT and LCSW license renewal. It will also be of interest to members of other helping professions, especially educators, clergy, nurses, and physicians.
