ETHICS AND PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY.
All presenters must have read and agree to adhere to the IASD ethics statement as well as to honor the IASD Principles of Community; both of which can be accessed from (http://www.asdreams.org/ethics-and-confidentiality/). IASD supports an approach to dreamwork and dream sharing that respects the dreamer’s dignity and integrity, and which recognizes the dreamer as the decision-maker regarding the significance of the dream. IASD is committed to promoting an environment that supports every person in an atmosphere of mutual respect, cooperation, professionalism, and fairness.
In short, all proposals should reflect educational, ethical, non-intrusive goals and methods, and presenters should not practice therapy nor make impractical claims. Workshops conducted in a manner that implies that the leader is the ultimate authority on the personal meaning of the dream, rather than the dreamer, are unacceptable. Workshop and dream group leaders in particular must take care to abide by the IASD ethics statement.
Furthermore, it is considered unprofessional and unethical for presenters to use direct solicitation or persuasion for economic or self-aggrandizement, such as openly advertising and selling of books or services during the presentation. You may briefly reference a book or practice if it forms the source material in support of your presentation, but you may NOT overtly promote or sell your books, products or services in the session spaces. Promotion of products and services within the conference facilities is also not permitted other than with flyers on the Attendee Information Table or special exhibit/sales tables contracted for with IASD. Presenters who wish to sell their books or products must do so through the bookstore. Note this in the Book Listing box below and special forms will be sent to make arrangements with the bookstore.
Check here that you have read and agree to adhere to the IASD ethics statement and honor the IASD Principles of Community.
