ABSTRACT
This chapter identifies body sensations and awareness when faced with ethical dilemmas related to technology. It is an innovative training exercise, and combines learning ethics through body and sensory awareness with addressing modern issues related to technology. Participants are led through an activity involving making gestures representing a variety of feelings and emotions, such as self-confidence, shame, and fear. The trainer facilitates a discussion of the relation of these gestures to ethical challenges. Using the Gendlin Method of Focusing, participants identify body sensations and awareness as specific Ethical Case Dilemmas are presented. These cases are then discussed by referring to applicable Professional Ethical Codes. The final activity includes a game of team Password, using sensory vocabulary (adapted from Ogden’s Sensorimotor Psychotherapy) and answering questions of ethical dilemmas related to technology.
