[Self-Study] Art Therapy Ethics: Positive Ethics

Part one of our three-part 2023 Ethics Series.

Positive Ethics is a perspective that encourages therapists to see overarching ethical principles as integrated with their personal values, as opposed to efforts focused on avoiding punishment for violating rules and regulations. This training will stimulate our creativity around ethics, and we will discuss how to rethink our approach to ethics so that in challenging situations we can consider “What I can do.” rather than “What I’m not allowed to do.”
