Ethics and the Single Therapist – ethical dilemmas in the modern age

Presenter: Michael Giordano

Category 1 | 3 CEUs 

You create your OK Cupid account, start scanning the Quickmatch feature, and are quickly matched at 85% compatibility with a current client. What do you do, besides feel sick to your stomach?

This workshop will explore some modern dilemmas faced by therapists, especially single  therapists looking for love or other pleasures. With the guidance of the NASW Code of Ethics and our own personal & professional philosphies, we will clarify our wants and desires for our clients & for ourselves, while exploring how our personal lives interact with our professional.

In this workshop, attendees will participate in both small and large group discussions, talking about how to navigate on-line dating, going to your favorite yoga class, and seeing clients at a small gathering, and similar situations. Less didactic and more interactive, we will work to discuss the issues we don’t often talk about, all within an ethical, client-focused framework.
