Ethical issues in classroom relationships can significantly impact a student’s learning experience, the success of an institution, and the standards of our profession. For massage therapy educators, it is essential to understand the subtleties of communication in an environment where boundaries may sometimes shift unpredictably. This one-hour session, specifically designed for massage therapy educators, introduces key concepts of transference, countertransference, and projection, and applies them to identify areas where students, teachers, and institutions may be vulnerable to ethical challenges. By the end of the class, participants will have a clearer understanding of the specific risks and benefits associated with various teacher-student interactions, to help them more effectively navigate and guide these relationships.
At the completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
