| MANDATORY CONTINUING EDUCATION
Mastering Legal and Ethical Issues
for Helping Professionals
Mark Fromm, PhD
This program is designed to meet the educational
requirements in law and ethics for licensure as a psychologist,
MFT, and LCSW.
The legal and ethical aspects of a practice are increasingly
important in providing effective and safe services as a psychologist,
marriage and family therapist, or clinical social worker.
Yet helping professionals often find legal and ethical issues
confusing or daunting, sometimes even at cross-purposes with
therapeutic goals.
This training can help participants effectively navigate
these complexities by clarifying the most current laws, ethical
codes, and professional standards in various psychotherapy
areas, such as insurance, managed care, advertising, informed
consent, confidentiality, abuse and danger reporting, malpractice,
and the Internet. The workshop provides participants with
a decision-making map for these confusing areas of practice
and includes a discussion on how to turn these issues into
safe and creative clinical opportunities, as well as an explanation
of the new American Psychological Association (APA) ethics
codes.
