This one-hour ethics training provides an overview of ethical and clinical considerations when working with couples, families, and blended systems. It is designed to help clinicians navigate the seemingly competing needs, voices, and expectations that emerge when multiple clients share a therapeutic space. Participants will examine confidentiality, informed consent, and role boundaries through the lens of systemic theory and the Code of Ethics. Topics include managing overlapping roles, maintaining neutrality, addressing triangulation, and integrating cultural and structural awareness in family systems. The goal is to strengthen ethical reasoning and transparency when navigating multi-person treatment. By applying ethical decision-making models and systemic principles, participants will enhance competence in balancing individual and relational needs within therapy.
