Ethics Seminar

Catalog description

Psychoanalytic ethics are steeped in personality and professional cultures, and thus require ongoing attention. In this seminar, we address the complexity and nuance of commonly encountered ethical dilemmas in psychoanalysis, with an emphasis on clinical practice. These dilemmas include confidentiality, unconscious bias, analytic delinquencies, boundaries, and sexual boundary violations. We use readings and case examples to facilitate discussions and support you in the ongoing process of developing an ethical stance as psychoanalysts.
