Resolving Complex Ethical and Multicultural Dilemmas in Psychological Practice
University Golf Club House, 5185 University Blvd., UBC, Vancouver In the practice of psychology, we frequently encounter
complex dilemmas that have clinical, ethical, and legal
elements. The workshop will begin with a focus on clinical
practice vignettes that will allow participants to actively
discuss, analyze and resolve these types of situations. A
model of ethical decision making will be presented that
incorporates emotional, interpersonal and contextual factors.
The workshop will then focus on multicultural competence
in psychological practice as integral to the provision of high
quality services to an increasingly diverse public. We will
review strategies for incorporating these competencies
into clinical practice through the discussion of challenging
multicultural vignettes.
