Complicated ethical issues lay at the core of the unraveling clinical relationship between HBO's Mafia don Tony Soprano and his psychiatrist, Jennifer Melfi. Not only did the show and Dr. Melfi win awards from the American Psychoanalytic Association, but Melfi's ethics became the subject of debate in online therapy chat-rooms all around the country. In this workshop, we'll explore the clinical and ethical complexities of treatment presented in The Sopranos,and discuss what it can teach us about the risks of blurred boundaries. We'll consider the limits of traditional "values neutral" psychotherapy in a world of convoluted loyalties, hyperindividualism, and moral danger, and explore ways to talk nonjudgmentally with clients about behavior that's hurting both them and others. Video clips of the show will spur the debate. Note: this workshop fulfills many state board requirements for training in ethics and risk management. (This session will continue with Workshop 503.)
