Ethics and the Treatment of
|
Carl Jung tells us, in Modern Man in Search of a Soul, that the beginning of the cure for the patient (or client) occurs when he encounters something strange arising from his own psyche to face him, something which cannot be understood as his ego or his identity and, therefore, cannot be controlled (p. 248). This will prove to be his first encounter with the Self.

ACA has already approved the “Competencies for Addressing Spiritual and Religious Issues in Counseling” put out by ASERVIC in 2009, which increase skills to the level required by ethics. And several other clinical boards approve a language for multicultural care that necessarily includes religious multiculturalism. Have you increased your competencies to the level required in this area? This workshop is meant to facilitate the building of your skills to the required level. It is intended to increase and enhance the current dialogue about how to be ethically responsible for the spiritual or religious issues that arise in therapy. Given that these issues are extremely common among our typical client population, it is time we learn how to deal effectively with these myriad religious and spiritual issues from an ethical and competent interfaith/interspiritual perspective.
