Online Course Title: Retired ~ Ethics VIII, Part A Repercussions of Sexual Misconduct
  Category: 7
  Credits: 1
 
 
  Objectives: • Gain an understanding from a person who committed boundary violations of how one can, under the right—or wrong circumstances—make devastating errors. • Understand the difference between ethical issues, legal concerns, and boundary violations. • Become aware of how ethics and licensing panels work. • Be able to recognize categories of offenders and varying approaches to their rehabilitation.
  Description: In the partner program to this one, Ethics 7, “Sexual Misconduct,” we explored the psychological and psychodynamic underpinnings of therapists who commit these severe boundary violations. Now in this program, we will take a look at the repercussions. This next interview is actually a panel discussion comprised of a defense attorney who defends therapists before licensing board hearings, a former prosecuting attorney who brought these cases to the licensing board of his state, and a social worker who has chaired ethics hearings for his state professional association. They will share with us how these hearings proceed and what they think about during these hearings.
