Workshop Description

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 fourteenth(14th) 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.

In today's swiftly changing landscape, psychologists are witnessing a surge of fresh opportunities and possibilities. These emerging frontiers not only broaden the scope of professional activities, but also offer avenues to enhance and support practice in ways that were once unimaginable. However, these new territories also come with their own set of unique challenges, unforeseen risks and uncertainties.

Workshop XIV is dedicated to exploring the ethical considerations and risk management strategies essential for effectively maneuvering through these novel domains in psychological practice. Specific topics include: necessary considerations for expanding one’s practice into new areas, psychedelic assisted therapy (PAT), the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in psychological practice, issues related to digital security, new understandings of PSYPACT and interjurisdictional telepsychology (IJTP), and effectively managing transitions in one’s practice (e.g. new employment, retirement, disability/illness, professional wills).

Objectives

Describe basic principles of ethics and risk management, as applied to several specific clinical situations that arise in professional practice

List at least three areas of the ethics code relevant to expanding one’s psychological practice into new directions.

Describe potential risks psychologist face when growing their business in new areas.

Define psychedelic assisted therapy (PAT)

Differentiate between legal and illegal interjurisdictional telepsychology practice and explain multiple avenues for legal practice.

Define three benefits and three risks of using artificial intelligence in psychological practice.

Identify three aspects of HIPAA that apply to privacy and security in emerging technology.

Continuing Education Credits

Sequence XIV is sponsored by THE TRUST and approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. THE TRUST maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
