Applied Ethics: Trending Topics in Ethical Decision-Making
Psychologists encounter ethical dilemmas across the spectrum of professional activities. These dilemmas create moral distress as well as liability risks and need to be handled with the highest level of ethical decision-making. Ethical decision-making is a skill that needs to be learned, practiced, honed, and supported throughout psychologists' careers. Recent events have brought into clear focus how important it is to focus on ethics in the changing landscape of professional practice, to consider the intersectionality of ethics and multicultural practice, and to acknowledge and act upon the critical mandate for self-care. The purpose of this presentation is to familiarize psychologists with Indiana Psychological Association’s Ethics Consultation Committee and the CASES approach the committee uses to address ethical concerns. Additionally, this presentation will address on three trending topics in ethics: how to use the CASES approach to resolve ethical dilemmas when resources are not able to meet the demand for service, how the CASES approach can help approach the intersection of multicultural practice and ethical practice, and how to practically apply the ethical mandate for self-care.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. describe how to utilize IPA's Ethics Consultation Service.
2. summarize the steps of the CASES approach.
3. describe the values in conflict when resources are limited.
4. describe how ethics inform multicultural practice.
5. identify 2 ways to engage in self-care regularly in real-world settings.
