The Law and Ethics
of Analytic Psychotherapy

In November 2023, Rose City hosted an intimate and thought-provoking in-person event in Pasadena during which we delved into the fascinating realm of the Law & Ethics. Fulfilling all four hours of the Board of Psychology's Law and Ethics CPD requirement, we helped attendees arm themselves with knowledge of the laws and standards governing the ethical practice of providing therapy.

The course kicked off with Alan Karbelnig, PhD, ABPP presenting a detailed recounting of an anonymized ethical violation by a provider and how the situation was handled by both the provider and the Board of Psychology. Next, expert attorney Scott Harris walked the audience through the basics of ethical laws and guidelines while highlighting updates and changes to the regulations in recent years. Next, a Rose City clinician presented a case to a panel of licensed professionals featuring Enrico Gnaulati, PhD, Luis Nagy, PhD, Nina Savelle-Rocklin, PsyD, and Ryan G Witherspoon, PhD. This event was hosted at NOOR Pasadena and fulfilled four (4) Continuing Education credits for licensed psychologists, marriage and family therapists (MFT), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) in the state of California.
