DCPA Ethics Committee to offer Consultation Groups

 

The Ethics Committee of the DC Psychological Association will be offering a four-session consultation group focusing upon colleague assistant and professional development.  This group will use a small-group format and focus upon issues that present clinical and ethical challenges.  The goal of this consultation group is to provide a supportive and collaborative environment where mental health professionals can discuss ethical and clinical issues in a nonjudgmental atmosphere, and benefit from the collective energy of the group in the provision of the therapeutic encounter.

 

This group will begin on Thursday, May 17th, from 7-8:15 p.m., and will continue to meet the next three Thursdays at the same time.  The co-facilitators of this group are Dr. Stephen Stein and Dr. Maria Thestrup.  This group will be limited to eight participants.  Interested individuals should contact Dr. Stein at 202-745-2556 or Dr. Thestrup at 703-798-2838. This group will be free of charge and open to any interested participants.
