Mental Health Interpreting: Unique Challenges, Practical Solutions
2.5 Contact Hours
Course Description
Mental health interpreting is an important subset of study, since the issues encountered intersect with both medical and legal interpreting theory and the code of ethics. It also involves complex and intimate interpersonal communication with individuals who may act, speak, or think in unusual ways. There are laws that may even require the interpreter to break confidentiality or intervene. How can mental health interpreters face these issues successfully while maintaining impartiality to diminish potential emotional/ethical challenges?

Read MoreThis course was worth it. At times the speaker was repetitive. A couple of times I couldn't make sense of what the speaker was trying to say: "...this is something that a lot of people [unintelligible] and make something that mental health is...mental health illnesses are personal weaknesses..." (at 4:18). It would've been nice to have a brief description of concepts included in something the speaker read from, such as "conversion disorder" and "intermittent explosive disorder." The final review was unnecessary. I would recommend this course to colleagues. It made me want to research the subject further.
