Description
The Keys for Therapists in Safeguarding Professional Competence and Reputation
Ethics is much more than just "the law." Therapists regularly encounter ethical dilemmas that are not as clearly defined, and they must be informed in order to make sound decisions.
In this webinar, participants will examine ethical considerations around confidentiality and technology. Discussion of the risks involved in not appropriately addressing transference and countertransference in the counseling relationship will also be included. Dr. Patterson will conclude by emphasizing the importance of identifying, addressing, and reporting ethical violations, as well as safeguarding one's professional competence and reputation.
Safeguard your professional competence and reputation by paying attention to the issues of confidentiality, sexual countertransference, and reporting obligations.
