Description
Students will learn the fundamental tenets underlying professional ethics and ethical decision-making in the practice of dance/movement therapy. We will identify and explore ethical concepts, standards, and guidelines that will inform your clinical judgment and make you aware and mindful of the ways in which your personal ethics relate to your role as a professional dance/movement therapist. In addition to course readings, we will study the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) Code of Ethics and Standards of Ethical Practice and the New York State Education Department requirements and standards for licensure in creative arts therapy, including training in the identification and reporting of child abuse and maltreatment.
