Workshop Description:

Clinical psychologists are navigating a rapidly shifting landscape marked by epistemicide—the systematic suppression of knowledge— and institutional retrenchment. These forces directly affect how clinicians speak about identity, safety, and lived experience in therapy, supervision, and peer consultation. The stakes are ethical, not political. Psychologists must uphold professional responsibility, safeguard client welfare, maintain competence, and manage countertransference in environments where essential conversations may be discouraged or punished.

This 3-hour ethics workshop gives clinical supervisors and consultants concrete tools to maintain ethical practice, support supervisees effectively, guide consultees, and protect clients from harm. Using the Crawford Bias Reduction Theory & Training (CBRT), participants learn to identify internal reactions, manage stress responses, and intervene skillfully when bias or cultural rupture shows up in therapy, supervision, or consultation.

Workshop Objectives:

  1. Identify specific ethical risks created by epistemicide and institutional retrenchment and explain how these pressures affect clinical competence, supervision quality, and client safety.
  2. Describe the physiological, emotional, and cognitive components of countertransference that arise during culturally charged moments and assess how these reactions influence ethical decision-making in therapy, supervision, and consultation.
  3. Apply the LET-UP framework to demonstrate ethically sound responses to cultural ruptures, bias-based harm, or emotionally reactive interactions with clients, supervisees, or peers.
