When a couple being treated decides to no longer be a couple, issues of
confidentiality, release of treatment related information, contact from
the court or attorneys, and welfare of children add further to the
complexity of practicing within legal and ethical boundaries. This session
will present a step by step approach to minimize the risk of having to
face such dilemmas, and what to do if it can't be avoided. Participants
will learn how to discern the true reason why an individual or couple is
seeking help, what to do if you receive a subpoena or court order for
records, and how to work cooperatively with the court system while
maintaining best practice standards with your clients.
