Program Description
The Illinois Psychological Association is hosting a full day workshop on Ethics in Psychology on Saturday, May 10 in Springfield and Monday, May 12, 2008 in Chicago. The program will review the current version (2003) of the American Psychological Association Ethics Guidelines with case materials from clinical, consulting, and research settings. The program is designed to help keep research scientists and clinicians up to date with the appropriate responses to ethical dilemmas that routinely arise in science and practice, to promote the highest standards of professional behavior, and to enhance skills in ethical decision making. The intended audience includes clinical and research psychologists, clinical and research psychiatrists, social workers, and other
behavioral scientists.
Presenter
Stephen Behnke, J.D., Ph.D. has been the Director of the APA Ethics Office since November 2000. Prior to his tenure at the APA, Dr. Behnke was the director of the Program in the Practice of Scientific Investigation at Harvard Medical School's Division of Medical Ethics. At Harvard, he led the school's program to train postdoctoral students in research ethics and consulted on medical ethics. In addition, for the past four years he has had a private practice in psychotherapy, and served on staff at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center, which is a
teaching hospital of the Harvard Medical School. His path to becoming an ethics educator began at Yale Law School in the mid-1980s, where he became interested in the relationships among law, ethics and psychology. After he received his J.D. from Yale, he worked with psychiatric patients in a halfway house, even as he began practicing as an attorney. His interest unabated,
he completed a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Michigan. He then moved first to a postdoctoral position and then to the position of chief psychologist at the day hospital unit at the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. Dr. Behnke has consulted on ethics in psychology, formally and informally, for about 15 years. He has written extensively in books, journals and newsletters on diverse subjects in the topic area, including confidentiality, outpatient commitment, legal competence, recovered memories and third-party liability, informed consent and criminal responsibility of mentally ill people. He has co-authored books on the essentials of mental health law for four separate states: Massachusetts, New York, California and Florida.
