As a psychotherapist you have probably heard references
to the “standard of care” or the “reasonably competent
therapist,” but you may not have a clear understanding
of how such concepts affect you on a day to day basis.
Consequently, you may not have an accurate understanding
of what the law expects of you as a psychotherapist.
In this six-hour workshop, which is Part I of a multicourse
series on the subject of the law’s expectations for
psychotherapists, you will learn about what the law has to
say regarding a therapist’s obligation to be a competent
practitioner; the importance of properly assessing and
diagnosing your patients; the right to privacy, which
includes the subjects of confidentiality and privilege;
patients dangerous to themselves; patients dangerous to
others; and, dual relationships.




This is a lecture-format course that will draw on actual
law cases to teach the underlying principles, and it will
satisfy the BBS’s on-going requirement of six (6) CEUs in
law and ethics.
