Date/Time
Consider this scenario: A client tells their therapist that they wish someone was dead. How does a therapist ethically and legally handle this situation? Therapists have legal and ethical responsibilities to both their clients and greater society. Many mental health professionals face challenges determining the best course of action when clients make threats towards others.
This workshop will present a history of duty to warn laws and an examination of Tarasoff Rule. Case vignettes will illustrate various situations that therapists may encounter when clients are expressing threats, violence, or harm to others. Learners will be provided with concrete and ethically sound practices to increase their confidence in managing duty to warn dilemmas.
Learning Objectives:
Identify relevant state law and professional ethics regarding duty to warn responsibilities.
Discover methods of assessing and intervening with potential duty to warn concerns and client potential for violence.
Demonstrate increased confidence in mitigating client violence and following ethical and legal mandates regarding duty to warn.
