Description

Those of us who work with kids and their families are subjected to a barrage of emotions. There is uncertainty about shifting ethical standards and regulations, dread that our activities may cause long-term developmental damage, and worry that we will mistakenly cross a boundary that will imperil our professional license and put us in legal danger. In this setting, we may find it difficult to perform as professionals and assist our clients.

Terry Casey, PhD, HSP will provide you with a solid foundation for evaluating ethical options when working with minors and their families by combining a step-by-step guide to an effective decision-making model, the most up-to-date ethical codes and legal statutes, and lessons from 30 years as a clinician and ethics professor. You will feel much more confident in your decisions on required reporting, access to minors’ records, parental rights, boundary difficulties, touch, and other issues.
