• CC18 Law & Ethics 02 - Really Hard Work: Legal and Ethical Issues in Couples and Family Therapy (Part 02) - Steven Frankel, PhD, JD Description: This six-hour program seeks to provide information and recommendations for mental health professionals whose work includes the assessment and treatment of couples and families.
• The program begins with an update on legal and ethical developments that affect providers, and then moves to a discussion of risk management strategies for clinicians, including the most critical issues faced by clinicians in their work.
• We continue with important issues concerning confidentiality and “secrets” in couples and family therapy.
• The program then moves to a discussion of licensing Board complaints against couples and family therapists, starting with information that includes the fact that the highest frequency of board complaints involves conflicts regarding child custody.
• Finally, we discuss the developments in the use of Telehealth in the provision of services to couples and families.
