What Happens in Therapy, Stays in Therapy. Unless Exploring the Ethics of ConfidentialitySunday, March 12, 2023, 1:00 PM EDT

$59.99Kathryn Krase, Ph.D.,

 

What do I do when a client tells me they’ve contemplated committing suicide? Who do I contact when I’m worried a client is going to hurt someone? Will I get in trouble if I talk about my clients outside of work? This course brings real-world context to ethical concerns related to confidentiality, often experienced by professionals in practice. We’ll explore the goals and limits of confidentiality through an analysis of ethical and legal complications. 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.
