Ethics of Managing Collaterals and Interested Parties in Therapy

Ethics of Managing Collaterals and Interested Parties in Therapy

Date course created: May 2023

Very few ethics trainings specifically address working with a therapy client’s collaterals and interested parties within complex family and societal systems. This aspect of professional practice is extremely important for all of us, no matter the treatment setting or area of practice. Virtually any client case, even if it starts out otherwise, might at some point move into the school system, child welfare system, family courts, or simply begin to pull in other family members, emergency contacts, medical providers, etc.

Treating individuals as a part of the various systems within which they operate presents a number of ethical challenges. Cases involving children in the school system and/or the child welfare system require therapists to engage in complex interactions with various parties including: family members, teachers, school social workers and counselors, department of family services case workers, and even guardian ad litems. With mandated clients, multiple third party payers (e.g. DHS, DOC, etc.) may seek information from you regarding your client’s case. Working within these systems as a mental health provider requires constant vigilance around professional ethics, mandated reporting requirements, and compliance with the law and court orders, all while establishing the conditions for success in therapy.

Without proper training, it can be extremely difficult to balance these concerns, avoid peril, and remain effective in the therapeutic process. These situations present a level of liability that can pose a significant threat to professional practice if mishandled. But if well-managed, navigating these liabilities successfully most often results in effective communication and treatment while maintaining the therapeutic alliance with the primary client.

In addition to the primary Course Objectives outlined below, learners will reflect on the nuances of working with individuals that operate within complex and often contentious societal systems. A review of a checklist for mandatory disclosure will also be provided to ensure the therapeutic relationship begins with a clear understanding of these challenging dynamics. 

 

 

**This is a 3-CE noninteractive, self-paced online video course delivered in home study format via an industry-standard online learning platform**

 

 

Agenda:

00:00 – 01:00: Understanding Moral Ethical Principles

01:00 – 02:00: Managing Alliances & Maintaining Therapeutic Relationships

02:00 – 02:40: Tools for Ethical Practice

 

Objectives:

This training will provide participants clinical knowledge and tools to:

a). After completing this training, participants will be able to identify three aspects of mandatory disclosure specific to working with individuals in complex societal systems (family, legal, medical, etc.).

b). After completing this training, participants will be able to identify two specifics regarding releases of information when working with individuals, collaterals, and interested parties within these systems.

c). After completing this training, participants will be able to describe two ways to manage alliances drawn between family members, while maintaining the therapeutic relationship with the primary client.

d). After completing this training, participants will be able to identify three significant areas of ethics that apply to these types of cases from the general ethics review offered in this training.

e). After completing this training, participants will be able to name two strategies to deal effectively with payer sources often involved with Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and mandated clients.

Criminal Offenders: Early Childhood Indicators, Screening, and Interventions

Criminal Offenders: Early Childhood Indicators, Screening, and Interventions

Date course created: May 2023

What causes a person to engage in criminal activity? Although the answer to this question is complex, research shows neurological, biological, psychological, and social links which form the key to treatment and prevention. Learn crucial empirical insights and interventions that YOU can use as a therapist to recognize these links and provide world-changing and transformational treatment and prevention.

Several prenatal and postnatal neurobiopsychosocial factors can contribute to problematic, challenging, and concerning behaviors across the lifespan. This is especially the case when professionals lack awareness and understanding of these topics and the impacted individual has not received proper support and services. This training will examine several of these factors, including their influence on internalizing symptomology, and externalizing behavioral problems, and criminality. Participants will also learn about screening and intervention options through a neurobiopsychosocial lens.

Other related topics discussed during this training will include adverse childhood experience, attachment disorders, empathy deficits, environmental toxins, executive dysfunction, frontal lobe dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, household dysfunction, amygdala dysfunction, lower socioeconomic status, maternal‐fetal attachment problems, neighborhood and community dysfunction, neurotransmitter dysfunction, poverty, pregnancy and childbirth complications, prenatal drug and alcohol exposure, reduced access to green and blue space, rejection, self‐regulation deficits, sensation seeking, sensory processing issues, structural and functional brain abnormalities, temperament, toxic stress, and traumatic brain injury among others. Empirically based research findings will be highlighted throughout this training.

Individual EFT in Action: Shaping a Secure Sense of Self

Individual EFT in Action: Shaping a Secure Sense of Self

Date course created: May 2023

This workshop introduces EFIT, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, the individual therapy version of the famous EFT couple model. This attachment-based, experiential model allows the therapist to confidently restructure the client’s habitual way of constructing moment-to-moment experience and regulating their most difficult emotions. EFIT focuses on helping clients shape a coherent, resilient, secure sense of self, able to explore and resolve the deeper emotional pain underlying depression, anxiety, and the echoes of trauma. As in EFT for couples, attachment science offers the EFIT therapist a map that clarifies the nature of client problems and symptoms, specifying the steps in the journey towards emotional balance and the corrective emotional epiphanies that are the essence of significant and lasting change in psychotherapy. EFIT offers the therapist an empirically-based, on-target, deeply meaningful pathway to growth and the development of aliveness, showing the therapist how to systematically attune to, and move the client into new models of self and other – into a sense of belonging and becoming.

b). After completing this training, participants will be able to identify the 5 macro-intervention moves of the EFIT Tango and experiential micro-interventions.

c). After completing this training, participants will be able to describe an on-target map for the creation of transformative moments where vulnerabilities can be faced with balance and competence.

d). After completing this training, participants will be able to outline the path to shaping corrective emotional experiences which restructure negative ways of defining the self, organizing inner experience, and engaging with others.

e). After completing this training, participants will be able to outline how to apply EFIT to clients suffering from a range of symptoms and post-traumatic issues.

Schema-Focused CBT: Rooting Out Resistant Behavior Patterns

Schema-Focused CBT: Rooting Out Resistant Behavior Patterns

Date course created: April 2023

Usually, beginning early in life, negative patterns of thought interfere with the person’s ability to reach goals. Schema-Focused Cognitive Therapy begins with an assessment of the patterns involved, followed by clients enhancing their emotional awareness of these patterns in daily life, and ultimately replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. Schema related treatment approaches have been shown to be effective for a variety of difficult to treat conditions. However, the long-term nature of pure schema therapy is not a fit for all clients in all settings. Thus, many professionals find themselves scratching their heads for effective alternatives to more quickly meet the needs of a segment of their caseloads.

Most practitioners are familiar with standard CBT which offers a variety of tools and techniques helpful for managing symptoms. But few are versed in the deeper schema-level work that is necessary for truly treating the most challenging conditions seen in the clinical setting. Schema modification treatments offer a refreshing hybrid between dynamic, insight-oriented approaches and evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy, incorporating attachment theory, psychodynamic concepts, and emotion-focused techniques as well. Also, in comparison to traditional CBT, Schema-Focused Therapy emphasizes identifying and changing lifelong patterns, and utilizes the therapeutic relationship in a powerful way to leverage deeper level change, making it particularly well suited for complex, resistant clients with entrenched, chronic psychological challenges. Schema-based techniques have proven themselves capable of modifying underlying meaning at “the root” of client’s presenting problems without sacrificing practical “here and now” interventions. Join Dr Jeff Riggenbach, the internationally known and three-time bestselling author, in this highly engaging online course, and learn new tools for treating your most challenging client symptoms sets including:

•Easily Triggered Out of Proportion Impulsive Responses
•Emotional Dysregulation
•Resistance to Change
