February 16th Study Group
Liz Kennedy, LMHC, will facilitate a seminar that will examine ethical challenges in the termination phase of psychotherapy and explore the clinical elements of a “good enough” ending. The course will begin with a review and discussion of Glen O. Gabbard’s paper titled, “What is a Good Enough Termination?” Next, the presenter will discuss a case illustrating the challenges and ethical considerations discussed in the article and reflect on her experience of the termination process in that case. Throughout the presentation, attendees will be encouraged to engage with the material, bring associations and questions and contribute case material relevant to the discussion.

When the Patient is a Therapist: The Ethics of Treating Mental Health Professionals | Kelsey Hanlon, LMHC, Psychoanalyst
Personal psychotherapy and/or analysis is considered good practice in our field. As such, many psychotherapists and psychoanalysts find themselves with mental health colleagues as patients. Some even specialize in being a “therapist of therapists.” Given that we are a large patient population, why are the ethical challenges and gratifications involved in these treatments not discussed? Join us as we openly talk about what has been taboo in our field: our very selves as patients. Cost to attend will be $32.50 (full-time student rate is $16.25 with discount code “STUDENT”). Price includes all credit card processing fees.
1.5 Ethics CEs are available.
