Self-Care for Psychologists: A Mandatory Ethical Practice
Presented By: Stewart Cooper, PhD, ABPP
Recorded live on November 5, 2025

Program Description

​​The 2003 APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct included language alluding to the need for psychologists’ self-care. Standard 2.06 Personal Problems and Conflicts states “(a) Psychologists refrain from initiating an activity when they know or should know that there is a substantial likelihood that their personal problems will prevent them from performing their work-related activities in a competent manner. (b) When psychologists become aware of personal problems that may interfere with their performing work-related duties adequately, they take appropriate measures, such as obtaining professional consultation or assistance, and determine whether they should limit, suspend, or terminate their work-related duties.”

​Since that time, and especially since the beginning of the pandemic, increased advocacy for the importance of psychologists’ self-care, given its impact on patient care, has emerged (e.g., Baker, 2003; Barnett et al, 2007; Barnett & Levine, 2024; Callan, Schwartz, & Arputhan, 2021; Norcross & VandeBos, 2018; Rupert & Dorociak, 2019; Wise & Reuman, 2019). The revised ethics code will likely contain a stronger mandate for psychologists’ self-care (personal observation as the APA Board of Directors liaison to ECTF as well as a liaison from APA Division 13 and the Committee for the Advancement of General Applied Psychology).

​This presentation will be divided into three segments. The initial part will cover the post 2003 literature on psychologists’ self-care as an ethical mandate. This initial segment will include direct connection with DEI, integration with spirituality and culture, and the identification of best practices. Continuation of these connections with the four themes will also be part of the second segment of the presentation which will focus on the development of a culturally embedded personal self-care plan for the psychologist. The third and final part of the presentation will be outward facing emphasizing tools and techniques for psychologists to help their patients assess and develop a self-care/resilience building plan founded on cultural, DEI and spiritual frameworks. Our patient’s self-care plans may or may not have much overlap with our own personal self-care plans. Both need to be contextually and culturally embedded to enhance likelihood of their being of value and effective.

Program Level: ​Intermediate​

Learning Objectives:

  1. ​Identify three reasons why developing a personal self-care plan is an ethical mandate for them.
  2. Identify three specific elements likely to be included in their self-care plan.
  3. ​​List three tools or strategies to help their clients develop a self-care plan.

Getting Ready for Arizona's Next Legislative Session with AzPA
Presented By: Emilie Karlin, Ph.D. and Emily Raymond
Recorded live on January 9, 2025

Program Description

This program is focused on applied state legislature advocacy for psychologists in Arizona. It will examine some historical ways psychologists have contributed to the political process, as well as practical ways psychologists can practice advocacy. We will discuss the tension between the perception of the practice of psychology as in individual or small group activity and the consideration of responsibility to effect social change on a larger level. We will define intersectionality and examine how we might utilize the concept of intersectionality to focus on social justice and equality. We will review the model created by the legislative committee to determine which pieces of legislature the committee will focus on. Our lobbying firm representative will provide an overview of different ways to be involved in the political process, and discuss best ways to build relationships with legislators. The program will be didactic.

Program Level: Intermediate

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify three historical ways psychologists have participated in political movement.
