Meet your Law and Ethics licensing renewal requirement with a focus on Sandplay
Delving deeply into the archetype of Integrity, the law and ethics of Depth Psychology, and the Buddhist principles of the Ten Paramitas, ancient practices honed over millennia, we will consider the STA and ISST ethical guidelines for sandplay therapists. We will examine our current professional, legal and ethical standards, emphasizing compassion and the imperative to “do no harm.” Small group work will give participants an experience of thoughtful, compassionate, ethical decision-making that honors both Masculine and Feminine, thinking and feeling.
- Define “ethics”
- Name three of the Ten Paramitas
- Name three ethical principles found in the STA or ISST Code of Ethics
- Explain the training, education and experience needed to ethically practice sandplay therapy
- Discuss whether to follow state laws or STA ethics guidelines if there is a difference between the two.
- Discuss three common ethical dilemmas in sandplay therapy
