It’s the lack of thought that counts: Ethical Decision Making in Dual Relationships

$9.00

Curt Widhalm, LMFT and Katie Vernoy, LMFT | 1 CE hour | Podcourse

Therapist education around dual relationships is often taught as concrete “do or don’t” rules that don’t take into account the complexities of relationships, cultures, and therapeutic alliances. This course teaches the types of dual relationships that can occur, gives direction on how to address each kind, and gives an in-depth example of a common dual relationship.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe five types of dual relationships
  2. Identify the most common types of dual relationships cited  by licensing boards
  3. Use an ethical-decision making process as it applies to dual relationships
