This CCB delves into ethical dilemmas currently facing child and adolescent psychiatrists in clinical, administrative, consultative, research, and teaching settings. It provides a forum for personal, informal consultation with members and former members of the AACAP Ethics Committee where questions are addressed and problems related to professional ethics discussed. It is a venue for informed guidance. Information is shared on available resources for use in addressing ethical issues physicians may encounter. Ethical dilemmas are approached in a case-study format, with attendees engaging in discussion that heightens appreciation of the role of ethical reasoning in a process designed to arrive at resolutions. In addition, attendees are encouraged to relate ethical problems they have encountered, as well as summarize these issues in a written paragraph for possible use in other educational settings that deal with ethics.
