Ethics in Motion: Navigating Connection and Change in Global Psychological Practice 

Virtual Workshop | CE: 3 Ethics Hours

Presenters: Tomina J. Schwenke, PhD, ABPP, Emily Mouilso, PhD, and Amy Todey, PhD

Workshop Description:

This engaging ethics workshop will use case studies on social media, global psychology, and interjurisdictional practice to examine emerging challenges in modern psychological work. Participants will review telepsychology and telemental health guidelines, ethical decision-making models, and frameworks for forensic work, mandated reporting, and social media practice. Diversity issues—including cultural contexts in high-conflict families, linguistic and disability concerns, and generational differences in technology use—will be integrated throughout. Using interactive methods such as open-ended questions, quizzes, and self-reflection, attendees will gain practical tools, decision trees, and greater capacity to ethically navigate evolving practice across state and international borders.

Level: Intermediate

Learning Objectives:

1. Apply ethical decision-making models (e.g., APA Ethical Principles, Koocher & Keith-Speigel’s 8-step model) to emerging challenges in psychology, including social media practice, telepsychology, and global/interjurisdictional practice.
2. Evaluate and integrate current guidelines for telepsychology, telemental health, supervision, forensic work, mandated reporting, and social media into professional practice across clinical, forensic, and supervisory roles.
3. Identify and critically examine diversity considerations (e.g., religion, age, linguistic diversity, ability/disability, socioeconomic status, and rural/urban differences) that impact ethical decision-making in clinical and forensic contexts.
4. Analyze systemic cultural stereotypes and legal-psychology intersections to reduce bias, enhance cultural humility, and strengthen therapeutic and forensic relationships in high-conflict family systems and divorce.
