Title:

Cultural Diversity, Value Conflict
and Ethical Decision Making
for Mental Health Clinicians

Description:

The objective of this course is
to help the mental health clinician
address the complex ethical problems
that arise in working with clients
from different cultural backgrounds
and value systems, and to explore
how one begins to find solutions
and compromises to complicated ethical
dilemmas while simultaneously operating
within the clinician's professional
framework and honoring and respecting
cultural diversity and difference.
This training will use a number of
scenarios to highlight some of the complex
ethical dilemmas that counselors are likely
to face.

Objectives:

When the trainee completes this course,
he or she will:

-Learn the elements, purposes and dynamics
of cultural material, such as values, beliefs,
and rituals
-Understand where and why tensions exist
between the values of the dominant ethos
and the values of non-majority groups within
the larger culture;
-Know the overall principles of ethical
decision making, and where those principles
must be modified when operating with
non-majority cultures;
-Comprehend the dialogic processes that will
allow the ethical decision making process
to proceed in situations of value conflict.
