A major component of the supervisor is helping therapists navigate ethical pitfalls and dilemmas faced in practice. Mental and behavioral health are among the few professions practiced in private with vulnerable individuals. Because of this, therapists must be held to high standards and be deemed competent before being allowed to practice independently. The responsibility for ensuring therapists’ competence and ability to make ethical decisions rests with educators and supervisors through gatekeeping.
In addition to the supervisory relationship and teaching components of supervision, the supervisor must also be aware of some of the common ethical violations clinicians face to adequately support therapists, protect themselves and advocate for the profession.
This is a non-interactive, self-study course.
Instruction consists of 2 hours of video instruction and a post-test.
From the time of registration, you have six months to access the coursework.
Upon completion of this training, professionals will be able to do the following:
- Explore and examine the common ethical complaints therapists face in clinical practice
- Examine the supervisor's role as a gatekeeper
- Demonstrate how to use the ethical decision making in clinical supervision
