"Legal and Ethical Issues Workshop"

       

Many clinicians struggle with the content of their treatment records. They wonder "Should I write a lot? Should I write a little? What really needs to be in my records?" In this six-hour course, CAMFT Staff Attorney, Dave Jensen, will review fundamental aspects of record-keeping and review the four fundamentals of the psychotherapy profession.

Learning Objectives

In successfully completing and attending this presentation, participants will be able to:
·  Explain the "building blocks" of the BBS's law regarding record-keeping. 

·         Identify mistakes made by colleagues in the area of record-keeping. 

·         State the core subject areas of a treatment record. 

·         Compare/contrast record-keeping requirements of the public and private mental health systems. 

·         Identify key legal terms that should "salt and pepper" your records, treatment or otherwise.

·         Describe the "D-A-V-E Way" of keeping records.
