Law and Ethics for Clinicians: Burdens, Dilemmas, Possibilities
Bram Fridhandler, Ph.D.

Clinicians are all too aware that they face potential penalties if they violate laws or ethical standards. This awareness and the shifting nature of these standards produce anxiety that can intrude on clinicians' functioning and wear away at their professional self-assurance. This course starts from the premise that clinicians need clarity of mind to do their jobs and promotes this clarity by de-mystifying the licensing board enforcement process and by helping clinicians make use of tools they already have to handle such areas as multiple relationships, informed consent, subpoenas, and record keeping.
  Bram Fridhandler, Ph.D., has been in private practice since 1987. He is a member of the Ethics Committee of the California Psychological Association and an Expert Reviewer for the Board of Psychology. He has been Ethics Chair of the San Francisco and Alameda County Psychological Associations and has taught ethics in psychology graduate programs. His previous workshops have been sponsored by The Psychotherapy Institute, the SF Psychoanalytic Institute Extension Division, PINC, NCSPP, Alliant, and others. His article on informed consent with CPA Expertise Series Task Force appeared in the Board of Psychology Update.
