About this course
- $9.00
Course Description
Therapist education around dual relationships is often taught as concrete “do or don’t” rules that don’t take into account the complexities of relationships, cultures, and therapeutic alliances. This course teaches the types of dual relationships that can occur, gives direction on how to address each kind, and gives an in-depth example of a common dual relationship.
Learning objectives: Participants in this course will be able to:
- Describe five types of dual relationships
- Identify the most common types of dual relationships cited by licensing boards
- Use an ethical-decision making process as it applies to dual relationships
