Dave Jensen will review the four fundamentals of the psychotherapy profession. In addition, many clinicians struggle with the content of their treatment records. They wonder “Should I write a lot? Should I write a little? What really needs to be in my records?” In this six-hour course, CAMFT Staff Attorney, Dave Jensen, JD, will review fundamental aspects of recordkeeping.
This workshop is designed to help you:
- Recognize the importance of the psychotherapist's role and their effect on good or bad legal and ethical outcomes.
- Identify the four fundamentals of practicing legally, ethically, safely and confidently.
- Recognize the differences between the duty to warn, the duty to protect, and the duty to report.
- Summarize the BBS administrative hearing process as it applies to therapy.
