Enhancing Your Career Through Positive Ethics

Ethics is more than a set of rules that psychologists must follow out of fear of being disciplined. Instead, ethics viewed from a positive lens can reflect one’s deepest values and highest aspirations. This webinar describes positive ethics and gives examples of how psychologists can rely on ethical principles to improve the quality of their services by embedding an ethical perspective into their clinical and risk management approaches and using a positive and socially embedded approach to enrich the quality of their professional lives.

• Define positive ethics and identify foundational ethical principles.
• Demonstrate how to use ethical principles to inform and improve the quality of services and enrich the quality your professional lives.
• Describe how to imbue ethical principles into your risk management practices.
• Discuss how to use a supportive social network to help better fulfill your professional goals.
