Use of Touch in Psychotherapy: Law & Ethics Workshop

SHORT SUMMARY
Join us for this dynamic & interactive workshop and earn 6 CEUs to fulfill your law and ethics requirement. Saturday, October 24, 2020

Presented by Diana Guest, LMFT


EVENT DESCRIPTION

Most people leave their clinical training believing that it is illegal to touch a client. Most of us receive little to no education about the value and ethics of touch. It’s not illegal to touch your clients, it’s just important to know the impact and be trained in how, when and where to touch your clients.

"If a therapist decides to touch a given patient, s/he must do so in a thoughtful manner and must be willing to accept responsibility for the patient’s interpretation of the touch. Likewise, if the therapist decides not to touch, there must be a similar willingness to accept responsibility for the meanings that the patient will assign to the absence of a natural form of human contact.” (The Therapist, March/April 2011, Guest & Parker).

Objectives: identify four uses of touch in their private practice; describe three types of touch useful in telehealth practice; identify three types of boundary considerations pertaining to touch and; identify three countertransference issues that arise with the use of touch. Intended for licensed & pre-licensed mental health professions & master & doctoral-level clinicians, physicians & psychiatric nurses.
