Hopes For This Course

I want this course to open up for you a rich and often invisible area of human experience that clients bring to us as therapists: the ethical or moral domain of life.

By the end of the course I hope you will be better able to listen for the undercurrents of ethical dilemmas as clients talk about their concerns, and to note the moral emotions going on for clients and for you.

I hope you will have conscious and explicit skills to consult with clients about this part of their life.  You’ll know what you are doing and why.

I want you to feel confident when you are doing ethical consultation and discussing it with your colleagues. No more “closeted” ethical consultation.

And I hope that some of you will want to go deeper, joining a community of therapists developing this material beyond what I have done so far. I envision a cadre of leaders for the future.
