By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people! Does This Kid Need Medication? with Ron Taffel
Meds: Myths and Realities: NP0035 – Session 3
Do you feel like you could be a more effective therapist with your younger clients? Do you find it hard to determine when interventions--psychological and pharmacological--might be needed?

After the session, please let us know what you think. If you ever have any technical questions or issues, please feel free to email support@psychotherapynetworker.org.

123 Learning Ethics Can Be Fun: A Game Show Approach to Meeting Your Ethics Requirements
Clifton Mitchell
Special: Pre Conference Workshop on Ethics
We all want to do what's ethically right--not to mention avoid getting sued--but slogging through most ethics courses can be a tiresome bore . . .
We all want to do what’s ethically right--not to mention avoid getting sued!--but slogging through most ethics courses can be a tiresome bore. Not this time! This workshop features a game show that’s so entertaining, engaging, and high spirited that you’ll learn more, and have a better time, than in any ethics course you’ve ever taken. Participants will be divided into teams and equipped with electronic remotes for shooting answers to a computer-generated scoring system. The questions, which are presented in various formats, including Jeopardy-style categories, become more difficult as the points increase. We’ll explore some of the most perplexing legal and ethical quandaries--child abuse, confidentiality, dual relations, suicide, duty to warn--in such a stimulating way that you’ll be drawn into the enthusiastic discussion and have a great time. Note: this workshop fulfills many state board requirements for training in ethics and risk management.
Clifton Mitchell, Ph.D., is a professor at East Tennessee State University, where he received the Teacher of the Year award in 2002. He’s the author of Effective Techniques for Dealing with Highly Resistant Clients.
