This training course will review ethical guidelines as established for mental health professionals, specifically relating to competency and professional judgement. With the introduction of new and unique interventions used within Geek Therapy, it is important for clinicians to be comprehensive in their understanding of Geek culture and aware of the ethical issues that may arise if appropriate competency is not maintained. Improving competency through important peer written readings, engaging with various Geek-culture communities, and pushing the boundaries of our own personal experiences within ‘Geekdom’ can be important in maintaining competency when working with this specific population.
