Maintaining Appropriate Professional Boundaries: Exploring Ethical Obligations of Mental Health Professionals

 

Kathryn Krase, Ph.D.,

 

Can mental health professionals work with clients that they know from outside of the job? Can you barter with clients for your services? Mental health professionals are charged with the legal and ethical responsibility to maintain professional boundaries, but the obligation isn’t always so easy to discern. This course brings real-world context to ethical concerns often experienced by professionals in practice in maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. This course will provide a framework to contemplate ethical dilemmas and make informed decisions that insulate professionals from legal liability while protecting clients from harm. This class meets the new NEW YORK Appropriate Boundaries Training requirement.    3 CE Credits!

How is “ethical” related to “legal”?

Understanding Professional Boundaries (45 minutes)

This portion of the program will explore guidance from ethical codes on how to define appropriate boundaries with clients, highlighting the obligations of mental health professionals.

Drawing the Lines (60 minutes)

Using case examples, this portion of the program will explore various types of relationships between professional and client that can make maintaining professional boundaries complicated. – Conflict of interests – Dual Relationships o Family Relationships o Sexual Relationships o Other Relationships – Complicated Financial Interactions o Bartering for services o Other financial interactions

Protecting Yourself from Ethical & Legal Liability (30 minutes) This section will outline the framework that professionals can use to prevent ethical conundrums, and protect themselves from legal liability when maintaining professional boundaries is most complicated.
