This 1.5-hour course will examine the principle of autonomy (AOTA Code of Ethics Principle #3, AOTA, 2015) from the perspective of relational ethical theory. Participants will explore whether the conception of autonomy and the autonomous agent at its core are compatible with embeddedness of how we understand ourselves, the relational nature of our motivations, and the overall social character of our being (Christman, 2004). Examples from clinical decision-making with children, people with cognitive differences, and people with mental health issues will be used to consider how practitioners can partner with clients and families to achieve client-centered care and honor the interdependence and mutual support in which these client groups operate.

Objectives

check Critically evaluate the AOTA Code of Ethics principle of autonomy
check Explore the implications of relational autonomy for conceptualizing the "client" and client-centered care
check Analyze the similarities and differences between individual autonomy and relational autonomy
check Apply a relational autonomy approach to case examples in which the client's capacity for decision-making is limited
