THE ETHICS OF RESPONDING TO CLIENTS AND CRIME Thursday, November 13, 2014 9 a.m. - 1:20 p.m. Southern Regional AHEC, Gerald A. Strand CE Auditorium 1601 Owen Drive, Fayetteville, NC 28304 In affiliation with Duke University Medical Center Part of the NC AHEC Program Target Audience This workshop will be beneficial for psychologists, clinicians, therapists, counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, substance abuse counselors and all interested others. Program Description Helping professionals often encounter clients who are involved with the justice system, as crime victims, suspects, or offenders. These situations give rise to complex ethical dilemmas involving confidentiality, conflicts of interest, personal and public safety, and challenges in upholding the best interests of the client. The differences among the populations involved in the justice system and the wide variety of activities that may constitute “crime” further complicate the dilemmas. This workshop addresses the unique considerations when serving justice-involved clients and the ethical standards that apply to dilemmas occurring with these populations. We will use case vignettes to operationalize workshop concepts and will provide resources for continued learning. Objectives Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to: • Describe ways to distinguish categories of criminal disclosures, crimes, and non-crimes; • Describe compelled and uncompelled therapist disclosures; • Discuss the roles that standards of informed consent, conflicts of interest, confidentiality and self-determination play in uncompelled disclosures; • Explain the clinical, ethical and legal pros and cons of uncompelled disclosures; • Discuss the concepts and standards on disclosure to case examples; and • Identify resources for learning more about dilemmas in this domain of practice.
