Course Description
Therapists are given conflicting advice on when their duties to patients begin, how much they are expected to be available to clients outside of sessions, how they are to approach between-session communications, and how to document such communications. This workshop explores a disciplinary case where the California Board of Psychology investigated a therapist’s responses to a client that filed a complaint about the therapist’s treatment.
Learning objectives: Participants in this course will be able to:
Evaluate the standard of care in responding to suicidal ideation expressed outside of session
Analyze a case study for handling a client’s progress in treatment
Determine the starting point of responsibility for client care
