"Border Wars: Jurisdictional Challenges for Psychotherapists Providing Telehealth"
       
with David Jensen, JD      
  
Border Wars: Jurisdictional Challenges for Psychotherapists Providing Telehealth

Whether they realize it or not, the practice of Telehealth creates many different types of jurisdictional challenges for psychotherapists, especially when their patients are from other states or when their patients travel to other states, whether temporarily or permanently. These issues include the possibility of having to defend one's professional conduct in other states; the possibility of committing a crime in other states; and, the possibility of the professional's licensing board taking adverse action against the provider's license for providing such care. On the other hand, in today's complex world, patients may have to travel to other states for work or recreation, or they may experience some sort of personal crisis while visiting another state and need immediate and necessary help. So, how does the law balance the obligations of health care providers to provide adequate care for their patients with the restrictions that states have about practicing without a license issued by that state? This is a very complex area of the law, and practitioners who engage in Telehealth -or are interested in Telehealth- must understand some sophisticated legal principles to make the best decisions for them in terms of orienting their conduct. In this six-hour presentation David G. Jensen, CAMFT Staff Attorney, will review significant statutes and cases that highlight the legal issues in this emerging and ever-expanding area of the mental health milieu.

Learning Objectives
In successfully completing and attending this presentation, participants will be able to:
  1. Recognize three distinct types of legal jurisdiction affecting mental health professionals.
  2. Describe the rule of law and the rationale of the seminal case of Wright v. Yackley (1972) 490 F.2d. 287.
  3. Describe the rule of law and the rationale of Prince v. Urban (1996) 49 Cal.App.4th 1056.
  4. Describe the rule of law and the rationale of Hageseth v. Superior Court (2007) 150 Cal.App.4th 1399.
  5. Identify three examples of what it means to practice in another jurisdiction without a license.
