    Legal and Ethical Issues for Mental Health Professionals, Volume II: Dual Relationships, Boundaries, Standards of Care and Termination
    Did you know…
    • Good recordkeeping is what can help you the most if a complaint is brought against you by your licensing board?
    • Ethical rules vary by licensing board and state when it comes to such vital issues as confidentiality and privilege?
    • What makes a boundary crossing a boundary violation, and when that violation becomes unethical and exploitive?
    • The different standards of care as treatment provider and evaluator?


    Volume II of this series addresses ethics, and the particular concern of being investigated by one’s licensing board for an alleged violation. Specifically, these four lively discussions between a psychologist, lawyer and journalist cover such murky matters as: bartering, boundaries, touch, self-disclosure, gifts, multiple-member clients such as couples and families, the initiation of treatment, breaches in confidentiality, ending treatment, electronic records, HIPAA, client debt, client suicide and a clinician’s death. Presented by Stephen Feldman, an expert in mental health law, this video lays out simple changes all clinicians can make to protect themselves and their practice. This is an invaluable resource that will dispel doubts and fears, enabling therapists to practice more confidently.
     

    "Provides an excellent update on ethics. It addresses some of the thorniest issues in a very engaging manner. An excellent resource for both the training of students and the continuing education for practitioners! I plan to recommend it to my students and colleagues."
    Ronald Levant, PhD, ABPP - 2005 President American Psychological Association, Professor of Psychology, Univ. of Akron

    "Provides a wealth of information on important issues every therapist's faces, and does so in a conversational, engaging, and professional manner. I am particularly impressed with the in-depth analysis of these critical topics and how the complexity of each is addressed. This DVD, and its accompanying Instructor's Manual, appears to me to be the most comprehensive material anywhere on ethics in the helping professions."
    Samuel T Gladding, PhD - 2004-5 President, American Counseling Association, Professor, Wake Forest Univ.

    "This program does a good job of distinguishing between clinical, ethical and legal concerns as well as the differences between various federal, state and professional codes. In addition, various theoretical perspectives are considered with an emphasis on consistency between theoretical stance and clinical interventions. The use of vignettes is effective in presenting the issues in a meaningful and memorable way, while the dialogue captures the complexity of the issues and allows for the presentation of multiple perspectives. Rather than codifying absolutes, the presentation emphasizes the various elements that should be taken into account when facing an ethical dilemma, including the importance of consultation. Useful for instructors teaching legal and ethical considerations in professional practice as well as students and interns studying for licensing exams."
    Deborah Harkin, PhD - Academic Coordinator, Santa Barbara Graduate Institute

    I bought this DVD to fill my CE requirements and was surprised to find that I enjoyed it. Presenting ethical and legal issues as a conversation between a lawyer, a psychologist, and a journalist was brilliant!
