Legal and Ethical Issues Workshop
(6 CEUs)

Presented by:
Chuck Moshontz, MFT


A Consideration of the Current Legal and Ethical Responsibilities of Mental Health Professionals in California.

Here is a sample of topics to be covered in the Law & Ethics presentation:
  • What is the difference between determining child abuse and investigating child abuse?
  • What are the dos and don'ts of reporting child abuse?
  • When is verbal abuse a mandate and when is it not?
  • Problems (and answers) in interfacing with DCFS
  • The Tarasoff duty is not a duty to warn.
  • Why your authorization to release information form may not be legally sufficient.
  • Is it okay to release confidential information on a release form initiated by a third party?
  • Breaking confidentiality when your client may be dangerous but there is no mandate.
  • Responding to subpoenas made simple.
  • The ABCs of good informed consent.
  • The dirty little secret of record keeping: most therapists are ashamed of their client records.
  • How to respond when clients want you to grant access to records of their treatment.
  • Thorny legal issues in treating minors.
  • Boundaries:  the difference between boundary crossings and boundary violations.
  • HIPAA: is it really a threatening monster to be avoided at all costs?
  • Psychotherapy and the Internet.
