101810: Ethics for Energy Healing Practitioners

About the Course:

This course is based on the Ethics Handbook for Energy Healing Practitioners. Energy Medicine and Energy Psychology are relatively new approaches within Western healing practices. They require that practitioners have not only a working knowledge of the ethical principles that guide all health care practitioners; they also require an understanding of special ethical issues that may arise when working with the body’s energy systems. This book addresses both sets of ethical questions. It uses a case oriented-curriculum. As well as in-depth discussion of ethical principles and how to think about ethical challenges, it presents 50 ethical dilemmas, invites the reader to think each through, and then takes the reader on an exploration of the relevant ethical principles and how they can be applied to the situation being examined. According to one reviewer, “This authoritative guide not only gives the reader information about ethical concepts, it repeatedly models a tremendously useful decision-making process. It should be required reading for all energy healing practitioners.”
