Description

This webinar provides a comprehensive exploration of issues specific to the practice of trauma psychology, focusing on adult survivors of interpersonal violence. Despite the pervasive prevalence of trauma in clinical contexts, many practitioners find themselves in the challenging position of providing treatment without the requisite training and support tailored to this population. The presentation delves into best practices for effectively navigating the ethical and professional dilemmas commonly encountered during the assessment and treatment of trauma survivors.  Within this context, this program will address the application of essential ethical principles from the APA ethics code, including informed consent, confidentiality, competence, dual-role relationships, and therapist self-care. Additionally, the session will examine the ethical and relational complexities that can arise when therapists become involved in legal proceedings, such as responding to subpoenas, court correspondence, or providing testimony.  Participants will acquire practical strategies for recognizing and addressing ethical and interpersonal challenges frequently encountered in trauma treatment, ultimately enhancing the quality of care and safety.
