6 Possible Continuing Education Credits Approved for MD, PhD, LCSW, MFT & RN

This course explores ethical dimensions of clinical practice, involving boundaries in psychotherapy and analysis when illness, mortality and major changes in the life of the analyst enter the relationship. We'll look at how therapists and analysts can prepare in advance for the possibility of their illness, incapacity or death, including working on preparing a professional will. Ethical considerations for framing self-disclosure when the analyst is ill, incapacitated or dying, and ways in which significant events in the analyst's life can impact the work of therapy will also be explored. The program will illustrate how these challenging situations can be approached through an inner function that guides our process toward ethical behavior, a function that is every bit as powerful as external rules and laws. We'll integrate theoretical, clinical, personal, archetypal and practical approaches to ethical questions. This course satisfies the requirement for 6 CEUs in ethics for license renewal.

PLEASE NOTE:

There will be a brief closure of the Bay Bridge while there is demolition work done on one of the piers of the old bridge. This is scheduled to take place about 1pm and should only last 15 minutes. Likely there will be no impact on your commute at 10am and 5pm, but those of you who are coming from the East Bay should check on traffic reports that morning, just in case.

LUNCH: Also, some of you have expressed interest in having a lunch provided, and we're looking into the possibility of having a simple lunch available at a cost of $15, to be paid for on Saturday. There would be both vegetarian and chicken options. We would appreciate your responding promptly to ruthbear@pacbell.net and indicating whether or not you'd be interested in purchasing a lunch that day. We will confirm with you by Thursday if there is sufficient interest in this plan.
