Ethics Workshop: “Resolving Ethical Dilemmas Through Communication”

Ethics is the study of moral principles & right conduct intended to uphold the dignity of the profession, adhere to prevailing laws, stay committed to quality, & respect each client. The practice of professional ethics shows respect for oneself and clients, broadens communication skills, enhances one’s ability to manage boundaries, an& develops technical competency.
In this class we will discuss the following:
1. What is ethical behavior and why is it important?
2. What is an ethical dilemma?
3. Specific dilemmas in the massage profession, including:
• Dismissal of a client
• Referring of a client
• Misunderstandings in the massage room
• Power differential
• Transference and counter-transference
• Other defense mechanisms
4. A model for resolving ethical dilemmas
Please feel free to bring with you any ethical conflicts you may currently be having in your practice. Gayla will do her best to address those issues. This class will be taught through lecture, discussion, class interaction, role play, power point, and video.
