Ethics in the Counseling Profession: Sexual Attraction and Professional Boundaries
Organised by: Asia Institute of Professional Psychology (AIPP)
Date: July 30th, 2008 (Wednesday) from 6.30 pm - 10 pm
Counselors are "human beings" and sexuality is part of our nature. Consequently, the issues of sexuality, sexual attention, and professional boundaries must be addressed in our work as counselors. How do we as counseling professionals deal with sexuality and attraction, either toward a client or from the client towards ourselves? How common is the problem of sexual contact between counselor and clients? Why is sexual contact between counselor and client harmful? Drawing from the professional literature, professional experience, and the popular media, Dr. Reid will address this often-ignored issue in an informative and interesting manner.

5th Congress of the Asian Society for child and adolescent psychiatry and allied professions
Organised by: ASCAPAP
Date: 29-31 August 2008
Featuring the theme, The Asian Child: Resiliency in the Face of Evolving Challenges, the 5th Congress of the Asian Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (ASCAPAP) will be held from 29th to 31st August, 2008 in Singapore. The Congress aims to address the biological, psychological and socio-cultural factors contributing to the development of resiliency in our young in this ever-changing world.
Held in collaboration with the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and the Singapore Psychiatric Association (SPA), this Congress will provide an opportune platform for an international exchange of minds of practitioners, researchers, educators and other allied professionals from the Ministries, Hospitals, Voluntary Welfare Organizations and Educational Institutions from Singapore, Asia Pacific countries and around the world.
This 5th Congress endeavours to continue the learning platform created since ASCAPAP was first organized in 1995 in Japan for the purpose of bringing together child psychiatrists and other professionals involved in the health care of children and adolescents in Asia. The first Congress was held in Tokyo and subsequently in Seoul, Taipei and Manila.
Joining Prof Felice Lieh Mak, our Keynote Speaker, and Professor Sir Michael Rutter, our Distinguished Speaker, will be several world renowned speakers such as Professor William Yule, Professor Michael Hong and Professor Katharina Manassis. There will be altogether 6 Symposiums, 3 Pleneries and various workshops/free papers sessions with topics ranging from stress and resilience, disability and giftedness, complementary medicine to trauma and computer addiction.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to invite your participation in this very meaningful conference. Your participation will enable you to network with like-minded professionals on the latest trends/developments that shape the way child and adolescent psychiatry is being delivered to benefit patients and their families. You would certainly bring back a storehouse of invaluable experiences and knowledge from this Congress.
