Modern Therapist Community

Too often in groups of therapists, you’ll hear confusing situations being described as “unethical” or illegal without any other explanations. Big feelings about complex situations often lead to therapists avoiding them all together. We dug into our listener mail bag (and gathered our own questions) to sort through more complicated and modern questions that don’t often get talked about in grad school or ethics courses. We discuss dual relationships, documentation, therapist performers and influencers, fee-setting, and our responsibility to correct each other. We look at ethics codes and the philosophy behind ethical decision-making to sort through complex situations. 

At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Identify 2 elements of dual relationships to consider when deciding whether to engage in said relationship with a therapy client
2. Describe minimum documentation standards for therapy
3. Assess the importance of using an ethical decision making model
4. Describe what needs to go into their fee setting process
