PHDAT 825 - Professional Identity & Advanced Ethics

3
This course focuses on how the Ethical Principles for Art Therapists set forth by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA), the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB), and the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) promote and maintain the standards of Art Therapy. Emphasis will be placed on understanding how these organizations align with the protection of individuals while engaging in social advocacy as well as the role that Institutional Review Boards have in protecting the public. Attention will be given to developing leadership in supervisory capacities as well as resolving ethical dilemmas using ethical decision making models, all of which align with the legal guidelines that formulate social justice work.
