Introduction to Moral Injury, Theory & PracticeJohn Gavazzi
This presentation outlines how humans beings are moral animals. Our morality is a function of biological, psychological, and evolutionary processes. Moral Injury refers to longstanding emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual suffering related to an individual’s moral compass, conscience, or spiritual beliefs.
We review examples of moral injury and ways to work with moral injury in context of psychotherapy.
Sometimes, psychologist feel like they are in Ethics Hell. In this presentation, we focus on ethical decision-making, clinical skills, and emotional reactions to patients. The idea is to see how we create our own hell, and some suggestions to avoid it, or how to ascend from it.
Legal, Clinical, Risk Management and Ethical Issues in Mental HealthJohn Gavazzi
The program outlines the fundamental differences between clinical issues, legal questions, risk management strategies, and ethical issues. While overlap exists, ethical questions arise when there are two competing ethical principles at odds. The course will reference both the ACA and the NBCC Code of Ethics. Clinical issues deal with treatment-oriented concerns. Legal issues concern state, federal, and case law, as well as statutes and regulations. Risk management typically focuses on reducing liability. Several case examples will be given to demonstrate how these issues overlap and are important to high quality of care.

The Board of Directors of the American
Association for Marriage and Family
Therapy (AAMFT) hereby promulgates,
pursuant to Article 2, Section 2.01.3 of
the Association's Bylaws, the Revised
AAMFT Code of Ethics, effective
January 1, 2015.
Honoring Public Trust
The AAMFT strives to honor the public
trust in marriage and family therapists
by setting standards for ethical practice
as described in this Code. The ethical
standards define professional
expectations and are enforced by the
AAMFT Ethics Committee.
Commitment to Service, Advocacy
and Public Participation
Marriage and family therapists are
defined by an enduring dedication to
professional and ethical excellence, as
well as the commitment to service,
advocacy, and public participation. The
areas of service, advocacy, and public
participation are recognized as
responsibilities to the profession equal
in importance to all other aspects.
Marriage and family therapists embody
these aspirations by participating in
activities that contribute to a better
community and society, including
devoting a portion of their professional
activity to services for which there is
little or no financial return. Additionally,
marriage and family therapists are
concerned with developing laws and
regulations pertaining to marriage and
family therapy that serve the public.
