Join us as we leave the traditional magazine format behind and enter the 21^st Century.

The theme of our inaugural online issue is ethics, a difficult and pervasive topic of our times — in government, business, domestic and international politics, and in psychotherapy. Thinking about ethical issues tends to make us uneasy. However, it is imperative that we share our experiences and our knowledge. We face ethical dilemmas every day in our practices. It is not always a simple matter to determine what is "right."

CICSW launched an open dialogue on ethics in the spring of 2002. Dean Hill and the faculty conducted a two-day convocation. They look forward to bi-annual ethics presentations in response to the ongoing need of practicing clinicians. Clinical Connections Online includes the thoughts and experiences of members of the CICSW community on the topic of ethics – as well as a variety of other subjects.

As time goes by we will be adding new material. Check in with us to stay up-to-date.
