About the Workshop:
Say good-bye to dull legal and ethical trainings and get your annual legal and ethical CE training in a dynamic, entertaining game show format! This presentation grew out of a recognition that most mental health professionals do not need another lecture on typical legal and ethical topics. What has been needed is a fun, stimulating way to review and learn from what they already know. Participants are broken into teams and each team has an electronic remote that sends the team's answer to legal and ethical questions presented. Answers from teams are graphed, posted, and discussed. A computer keeps scores for all to see. Questions are presented in various formats including Jeopardy-style where categories are chosen and questions get harder as point values increase. Management of some of the most perplexing legal and ethical quandaries will be explored. Topics include child abuse, confidentiality, dual relations, suicide, duty to warn, elder abuse, HIPAA compliance, and more. The material is applicable to all disciplines, practices, and states.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1) Explain legal and ethical requirements surrounding informed consent.
2) Discuss numerous situations when confidentiality should and should not be broken.
3) Identify the differences between child abuse, rape, and statutory rape and mental health professional’s duty relative to each under the codes and laws.
4) Describe specific instances when duty to warn is mandated and the complications presented by specific codes and laws.
5) Explain the pitfalls and complexities posed by dual relationships.
6) Discuss what constitutes elders abuse and professionals duties regarding reporting.
7) Identify the legal and ethical issues regarding therapists’ duty to treat relative to client religion, sexual orientation, diversity and cultural differences, etc. as well as countertransference issues and the rights of minors.
