Description

No therapist wants to end up needing legal defence, but earning your ethics CEs doesn’t have to be a bore! In this recording, you’ll dig into the hand-wringing dilemmas surrounding today’s important ethical quandaries with an attorney who’s also a psychologist. Rather than merely focusing on defensive issues, you’ll learn the latest ways of keeping your license free and clear of complaints. You’ll also learn from real-life cases that highlight how to think about the legal and ethical considerations that inevitably pop up when doing the job you love. Understanding these rules is vital to striking a balance between legal requirements and effective clinical practice. You’ll discover how to:

  • Develop strategies to maintain proper clinical boundaries in emotionally laden cases, such as when working with children of divorce and treating high-conflict clients
  • Maintain good record-keeping practices that will benefit your practice and keep you out of court
  • Balance the use of emails, cell phones, and texting during the course of treatment
  • Recognize the appropriate use and inherent limitations of teletherapy
