Drs. Rave and Larsen present the Feminist Therapy Institute Code of Ethics (FTI Code), developed to give formal guidelines that are consistent with principles of feminist therapy, so far largely ignored by traditional ethics codes of professional mental health associations. Eighteen experts in the areas of women’s studies and feminist therapy contributed material to thirteen chapters. Topics include the feminist model for ethical decision making, the medical model, monetary issues, overlapping/dual relationships, violence against women, reproduction/health issues, care of the very young and the very old, and therapist self-care. Respondents discuss vignettes that describe complex ethical dilemmas and link them to specific guidelines from the FTI Code.
This course is based on the book, Ethical Decision Making in Therapy: Feminist Perspectives created by Elizabeth J. Rave, Ed.D. and Carolyn C. Larsen, Ph.D.
