Description
Speaker: Tim Herzog, EdD, CMPC, Reaching Ahead Counseling and Mental Performance
Overview
Sport and performance psychology, a multidisciplinary field, is diverse across form, function, and practitioner background. Similarly, the ethics codes practitioners rely on are also varied (i.e., some combination of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology, the International Society for Sport and Performance Psychology, the American Psychological Association, the American Counseling Association, and/or others). Ethics overlap with laws which vary depending on the state, territory, or country where the practitioner is licensed (if they are licensed). Common wisdom dictates that a practitioner must always abide by the most stringent ethical standard. This webinar will highlight some key commonalities between different codes, as they apply to practitioners. Core issues to sport and performance psychology that will be broached include competence, representation, boundaries, beneficence vs. nonmaleficence, multiple role relationships, informed consent, assessment, confidentiality, documentation, risk management (including suicidal risk), decision-making models, self-care, and recent advancements in sport psychology ethics. Case scenarios will be utilized throughout the presentation to demonstrate concepts in practice.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Describe some key commonalities and differences between commonly used ethics codes
- Distinguish between mental health and mental performance and why it’s important
- Know how to implement a decision-making tree
- Be able to make the leap from theory to practice, in abiding by some important standards
