DESCRIPTION
 
Learn the myriad ways our colleagues have discovered that put their practices, their licenses, and their wealth at risk.
 
Ethics and Boundaries: How to Stay Out of Trouble will give clinicians the tools and information they need to recognize the ethical and legal boundaries of their profession and to steer clear of situations that invite complaints to the Board and malpractice suits by the lawyers.
 
Taught by award-winning instructors Matt and Susan McMillan. Matt is a former police officer, prosecutor, and judge, and Susan is a licensed mental health counselor with more than 25 years of experience and founder of the very first state-certified Batterers Intervention Program. This interactive and fun workshop will use case studies, humor, and group exercises to help you protect what you have worked hard to achieve.
 
OBJECTIVES
By the end of the seminar, participants will:
 
Understand the belief systems and thought processes of men and women in battering relationships that enable both partners to rationalize abusive or destructive behavior.
 
Identify common tactics of men who batter and recognize warning signs of domestic violence in a treatment setting even when all family members deny its existence.
 
Describe the various treatment approaches for men who batter and understand which forms of treatment are most effective, which are least effective or even dangerous, and why as well as recognize when a referral to batterers intervention would be appropriate.
 
Recognize and understand the immediate and lasting effects of domestic violence on children, including the neurological changes caused by traumatic exposure.
