When it comes to navigating ethical issues as a therapist, most of us like to think we have a pretty good handle on what's good ethical practice.

But the data says otherwise.

We have all heard of stories of colleagues who have breached ethical guidelines, or have had complaints made against them. And still our professional associations regularly receive complaints relating to a breach of ethics or worse, sexual transgressions between client and therapist.

On top of that, it appears our professional associations in Australia aren’t keeping up with the development of technology and social media. So Australian therapists are left to make their own guidelines when it comes to interacting with clients online and on social media.

So we spoke to ethics expert Dr Elizabeth Riley, who is the Ethics Chair of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) about some of the most common ethical dilemmas that therapists face today.

In this interview, Dr Elizabeth Riley discusses:

the most common ethical issues she sees in new therapists
the most common ethical issues she sees in experienced therapists
why we still have cases of therapists involved in sexual transgressions with clients
what are the signs that a therapist may be grappling with an ethical issue?
what she recommends be the first step for a therapist experiencing an ethical dilemma
what an Australian therapist should do if they have a complaint made against them
how can a therapist decide what is ethical behaviour online if the professional associations haven’t created a code of ethics in this area
the ethical issues related to the delivery of online counselling and therapy
her thoughts on the state Australian ethics and where we will go in the future

085: Therapy Ethics: How to Successfully Navigate Ethical Issues

Dr. Robert Field, Professor at the School of Public Health at Drexel University, talks about ethical issues on vaccinations.

Ethical Issues on Vaccinations - Dr. Robert Field

Part 1: Life on the wharf, and life at sea.
Ethics is something that everyone will have to deal with in their life. Like it or not, you’re going to have experiences where your ideas on right and wrong will be challenged. How will you handle them? What will you do? Should you be concerned about them if they don't directly affect you, or if you don’t know about them? 

In this special three part case study series (episodes 80, 81 and 82), I’m going to take a closer look at an industry that has recently come under media scrutiny in Australia for its treatment of animals. It’s the live… animal … export …industry. My guest in the series is Dr Lynn Simpson, a highly experienced vet who’s completed 57 voyages over 11 years, shipping Australian livestock to the other side of the world for slaughtering and processing. Many questions are raised, and despite plenty of investigation and research, there are still precious few answers on what to do with this highly controversial industry. It’s a complex story, and it involves a great deal of suffering. Is it ethical? Most of us will never see it, so…should we worry?

Henry Marsh has spent a lifetime operating on the surgical frontline. There have been exhilarating highs and devastating lows, but his love for the practice of neurosurgery has never wavered. Prompted by his retirement from his full-time job in the NHS, and through his continuing work in Nepal and Ukraine, Henry has been forced to reflect more deeply about what forty years spent handling the human brain has taught him.

Moving between encounters with patients in his London hospital, to those he treats in the more extreme circumstances of his work abroad, Henry faces up to the overwhelming burden of responsibility that can come with trying to reduce human suffering. Unearthing memories of his early days as a medical student, and the experiences that shaped him as a young surgeon, he explores the difficulties of a profession that deals in probabilities rather than certainties, and where the consequences of your decisions alter not just the life of a patient but also of those around them. The overpowering human urge to prolong life can often come at a great cost to those who are living it, and to those who love them.

In this searing, provocative and deeply personal memoir, the bestselling author of Do No Harm finds new purpose in his own life as he approaches the end of his professional career and a fresh understanding of what matters to us all in the end.
