January 10, 2021: When Current Events and Politics Enter the Therapy Room
This webinar will explore complex ethical challenges that arise when clients introduce controversial current events and political issues in the context of therapy sessions. Clinical social workers sometimes struggle to manage boundary and related countertransference issues when clients share intense feelings about electoral politics, racial tension, police-community relations, gun safety, immigration policy, abortion, and other “hot button” issues. Dr. Frederic Reamer will present several case examples and explore ethical challenges related to boundary management and self-disclosure. He will review pertinent ethical standards in the profession and discuss their intersection with clinical considerations.
