The Law, Ethics and Psychotherapy Forum (below) gets a lot of readers, but few new posts.
You are invited to contribute statements, comments or questions to keep the forum alive. Pick something you like, or something you don't like, but don't let the threads go stagnant! All I ask is that we avoid personal questions from patients (we can't do clinical work or second-guess therapists here, but we can have professional discussions among clinicians about ethics or forensic scenarios). We also avoid personal attacks.
The possibilities are endless. You can simply reply to an existing post, or start a new thread of your own. Do you have questions or experiences that involve the
ethics or legal aspects of training? clinical work? termination? malpractice or malpractice lawsuits? forensic careers? criminal matters related to mental health? boundaries? work with courts or lawyers? work in correctional institutions? work with parolees or probationers? clinician impairment? laws affecting practice?
Choose something you're familiar with or something you want to know more about. If you want suggestions, you're welcome to check out my website at
