The Louisiana Psychological Association will hold their fall workshop on Friday, November 17, 2023, at the Lake House Reception Center in Baton Rouge.
The association will host the The Trust Professional Liability Insurance Company who will present a six-hour ethics continuing education workshop on ethics, risks, and vulnerabilities in the practice of psychology, titled, "Ethics, Risk Management and Vulnerabilities: Yours, Mine, and Ours."
Dr. Leisl Bryant, clinical and forensic psychologist and consultant with The Trust, will present an updated review of decision science and its implications for bias and vulnerability in clinical, ethical and risk management decision-making. She will discuss strategies for reducing the impact of these vulnerabilities, issues arising in remote services beyond the pandemic, boundaries in advocacy by professionals on behalf of their clients/patients, and the risk- management implications of self-care (or its absence) for psychologists.
Dr. Bryant is a licensed New Hampshire and Massachusetts- based clinical and forensic psychologist, with board certification in Forensic Psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology. She received her B.A. from the University of West Florida, her M.A. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Duquesne University, and completed a forensic postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Medical School Law and Psychiatry Program.
Working in both criminal and civil arenas, Dr. Bryant has maintained a private practice in clinical and forensic psychology for nearly two decades and has provided psychological services in a variety of forensic and therapeutic settings.
A continental breakfast and lunch is included with registration with an optional networking happy hour after the workshop, according to the announcement.
