Ethics Responsibilities When Clients Threaten Suicide or Harm to Others

  • 12 Oct 2012
  • 9:00 AM - 12:15 PM
  • Cleveland State University, Section 470 Downtown, Julka Hall
Virtually all mental health professionals experience times when clients appear dangerous to themselves or to others. In fact, these situations have been identified as some of the most stressful that therapists encounter. This workshop will assist mental health professionals in identifying their ethical duties when such circumstances arise. It will also offer guidelines for responsible care, consultation and recommendations for documentation of the assessment of risk and treatments. A therapist’s rights and responsibilities when clients threaten them will also be
addressed.
