A thorough understanding of current laws and ethical standards pertaining to psychotherapy is critical for therapists. In this workshop you will learn to differentiate between "law" and "ethics." This class will also present a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of issues such as privilege and confidentiality, danger to self or others, treatment of minors, mandated responsibilities and other legal issues related to MFT and LCSW practice. Recent changes in the law are highlighted.

At the completion of this course psychotherapists will be able to:
1. Recognize when they have legal and ethical responsibilities.
2. Understand how to carry out those legal and ethical
responsibilities.
3. Maintain a standard of care against charges of criminal, civil,
and ethical wrongdoing.
4. Know when and how to properly consult to better uphold legal and ethical responsibilities.

This six-hour course satisfies the requirements for the California Board of Behavioral Sciences mandatory Continuing Education course in Law and Ethics.
