Description: Cultural diversity in our society invites us to reflect upon the role of culturally conditioned values held by individuals within the context of a perceived universal set of ethical imperatives. Mental health professionals are challenged to keep their personal beliefs and values to themselves, to respect the beliefs and values of consumers, and to become catalytic agents of healing for the individuals and families we serve in a therapist-consumer relationship. This presentation will explore our personal beliefs and values and their impact on our professional lives, and will propose a threefold set of universal ethical standards that, once adopted and practiced, may uncap human potential to self-healing and restructuring of society.
