| Description |
This interdisciplinary course will introduce core ethical issues which impact psychotherapists, spiritual care practitioners, and family therapists working in a variety of private and institutional settings. Codes of Ethics and Professional Practice Standards from the major regulating bodies will be examined and compared, including the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care (CASC), and the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA). Essential components of the course will include theological and scriptural reflection on ethical themes and the application of one model of ethical decision-making to real-life case studies in order to develop students' ability to initiate effective clinical interventions in complex ethical dilemmas. |
