Ethics Responsibilities When Clients Threaten Suicide or Harm to Others
Virtually all mental health professionals experience times when clients appear dangerous to themselves or to others. In fact, these situations have been identified as some of the most stressful that therapists encounter. This workshop will assist mental health professionals in identifying their ethical duties when such circumstances arise. It will also offer guidelines for responsible care, consultation and recommendations for documentation of the assessment of risk and treatments. A therapist’s rights and responsibilities when clients threaten them will also be addressed.

DSM-5 and Supervision Issues: Proposed Changes, Controversies and Supervision
As the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) is set to be released in May 2013, many clinicians and supervisors are wondering what to expect in the new manual. This workshop provides an overview of the DSM-5 revision process and changes for supervisors as well as highlighting key supervision issues and possible ways to approach them. The 6-hour format is designed to meet the supervision requirement for Professional Clinical Counselors, but the content is also appropriate to psychologists and social workers.

Ethics, the Internet and Social Media: Challenges and Opportunities for Mental Health Professionals
Younger clients and community-based clients are seeking online contact with mental health care providers at an increasing rate. Online media offer the promise of increased efficiency and effectiveness of therapeutic services, supervision of trainees, and peer consultations. However, they also present risks to both client and professional. In addition to the practical concerns about the security of the technology and the problems with misunderstanding of any text-based communications, there are uncertainties about the effectiveness of these innovative interventions (especially when used in the absence of fact-to-face contact). The diligence with which mental health professionals protect client confidentiality and conduct appropriate informed consent is also an area of concern.
This workshop explores the ethical and legal responsibilities of mental health professionals in use of technology for treatment, follow-up, peer consultation, and supervision experiences. Current standards, guidelines, and regulations will be analyzed and applied to vignettes drawn from practice, along with discussion and response to questions by Dr. Welfel.
