DescriptionThose of us who work with minors and their families are subjected to a barrage of emotions. There is uncertainty about changing ethical codes and laws, fear that our actions will cause long-term developmental damage, and worry that we will unintentionally cross a line that will jeopardize our professional license and put us in legal danger. In this environment, we may find it difficult to function 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 regarding mandatory reporting, access to minors’ records, parental rights, boundary issues, touch, and other issues.
