Sequence XV: Risky Business: The Ethics and Risk Management of High Risk Circumstances in Clinical Practice

For over two decades, The Trust has worked to educate and support psychologists in improving their ethics and risk management skills and strategies by providing live workshops, webinars, risk management consultations, and expanding resources. This 15th Workshop in our Sequence series continues to emphasize applied, integrated and strategic methods to help you stay grounded in ethical principles and practices, and to protect you from adverse disciplinary and legal actions.

Psychologists routinely encounter complex, high-stakes situations that require sound clinical judgment, ethical decision-making, and proactive risk management. This advanced workshop provides a deep dive into five of the most legally and ethically challenging areas of practice: compassionate and competent treatment of suicidal patients while balancing clinical and liability concerns, navigating the complexities of duty to protect obligations, working effectively with high-conflict families, managing subpoenas and courtroom testimony, and ensuring a legally and ethically sound termination of treatment. This day-long workshop will provide actionable strategies to mitigate risk, protect clients and practice, and enhance confidence in addressing these critical issues. This seminar is a key training for psychologists seeking to strengthen their ethical competence and safeguard their professional integrity in today’s increasingly complex clinical landscape.

Course objectives:

Describe five principles that can assist in improving ethical, clinical and risk management judgements and decision-making.

• List three erroneous myths regarding patients/clients who become suicidal
  
• Name three clinical and risk management steps to address imminent suicidality
  
• Define three elements of meeting standards of care related to the duty to protect
  
• Identify four dimensions of responding effectively to subpoenas for testimony and records
  
• Summarize four essential ethical and risk-management steps in clinician-initiated endings of care
