Ethical Decision-Making in Play Therapy:

Description of Training In this experiential workshop, participants will review ethical theories and models of ethical decision-making relevant to play therapy applications. Special emphasis will be placed on developing professionals’ understanding of decision-making processes used in arriving at ethical courses of action in four primary areas of emphasis in professional ethics codes and the APT Practice Guidelines. These areas include: a) informed consent, b) confidentiality, c) competence, and d) multiple relationships.
