Applied ethics for psychotherapists presented by Alessandra Lemma
'Applied ethics for psychotherapists: A psychoanalytic perspective' presented by Alessandra Lemma.

In this talk, Alessandra Lemma will provide a succinct introduction to key ethical principles and will then outline a framework for developing and exercising an ethical self-discipline to support critical reflection on our work with patients and to help us to approach the resolution of ethical dilemmas.
