WORKSHOPS
1. Did You See How She Treated Me? The Role of Disrespect, Rudeness, and Incivility in the Workplace: June 18, 2010 9am to 4pm. Our workplace, like every other place in our culture, can be fraught with negativity, incivility, rudeness, and disruptive behavior. Even though these behaviors have become hot topics on the evening news, our tendency is to ignore or tolerate them whether with clients or colleagues. Discussions will include how we are personally effected and the most productive and appropriate ways to deal with these destructive behaviors. 6 core hours $95 ($105 after 6/3/10) Jan Luke, MBA, MHA and Nancy Hickman, LCSW.
2. The Ethics of Conflict of Interest: June 25, 2010 (NEW DATE) and September 24, 2010, 9am to 3pm. The news is fraught with issues of conflict of interest. Psychiatrists are being accused of having conflicts with ties to the drug companies and performing research. In this workshop we will talk about the implications of these accusations and how it impacts our clients. Discussions will also include the nature of the pharmaceutical industry which causes the conflict of interest to be more salient. Also included will be the ethics of the DSM panel having ties to the pharmaceutical industry-does it render diagnosing unethical? The issue of recommending medications in light of psychiatrists receiving payments (whether in goods or money) from the pharmaceutical industry will be ethically explored. We will also discuss potential conflicts of interests which we may face. 5 ethics hours, $95 ($105 after 6/10/10 and 9/9/10) Nancy Hickman, LCSW
