Fall 2010

Helping Adolescent: Challenges in working with Adolescents and their Families

Adolescence is considered a challenging time by most experts. This presentation examines problems and challenges facing today’s adolescents (and those who are trying to help them). We will focus on common problems that occur in adolescence, ranging from depression to underachievement to conflicts about autonomy. We will discuss the ways in which modern life affects adolescents and families. Finally, we will focus on specific strategies for helping adolescents overcome depression, assume greater responsibility for themselves, and cope with the demands of the transition into adulthood.

 Spring 2010

Strategies for Maintaining an Ethical Practice

At first blush, we all are confident that we are ethical clinicians, who know how to avoid the pitfalls that may lead other practitioners into ethical quandaries. However, ethical practice is not that simple or easy. Dilemmas such as balancing the needs of different family members, effectively engaging high risk clients, and balancing the needs of intrusive insurance companies with those of clients, may test us. This presentation examines ethical challenges that we are all likely to encounter, explicates the issues involved, and examines the clinical, ethical and legal issues involved in these dilemmas. Particular emphasis is focused on working with couples and families.
