Summary

• Those of us who treat minors and their families experience a flood of emotions.

• There is confusion over changing ethical codes and laws, fear that the actions that we take will lead to long-term developmental damage, and anxiety that at any moment we might unintentionally cross a line that could jeopardize our professional license and put us in legal peril.

• In this environment, we can find ourselves impaired in our ability to function as professionals and help our clients.

• Combining a step-by-step guide to an effective decision-making model, the most updated ethical codes and legal statutes, and lessons from 30 years as a clinician and ethics professor, Terry Case, PhD, HSP will give you a solid foundation for evaluating the ethical options when working with minors and their families.

• You will have much more confidence about the course of action you take involving mandatory reporting, access to minors’ records, parental rights, boundary issues, touch, and others.
