Expert Insights 2023 - Boundaries and Ethics in Conducting Personality Assessment

Abstract
Conducting personality assessment is a highly specialized expertise which requires in-depth training, skill and the ability to attend to multiple (sometimes competing) demands. A nuanced appreciation of the complex ethical considerations is of critical importance in helping clinicians navigate thorny situations where multiple demands are at play. Confidentiality, informed consent, use of an assessment tool, use of diagnosis and conflicts of interest are among the areas in which an ethical dilemma may arise. This is a discussion-based workshop in which experience-near, fictional vignettes will be used to help participants think together about ethical dilemmas clinicians who conduct personality assessment may face. The vignettes are a springboard for participants to associate to their own experiences, and share their decision-making in navigating complex predicaments.
