DescriptionThis intermediate-level program focuses on ethical, legal, legislative, or regulatory laws, guidelines, and standards that govern psychological practice, as well as how clinical and ethical concerns affect the daily practice of the mental health practitioner in Delaware.
Dr. Allan Tepper, a licensed and practicing psychologist and attorney, provides a better understanding and interpretation of the standards that regulate mental health practice in Delaware, allowing attendees to identify particular state laws that influence and control their practice.
Clinicians taking the course will be able to write policies for their practice, explain the content of medical records requirements, and analyze their practice’s compliance with state specific ethical and legal requirements through lecture, real case examples, a review of references including the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, and the seminar manual with state specific policies and regulations.
This course will assist practicing clinicians in evaluating their record keeping processes and determining which notes and documentation are necessary for compliant medical records. Finally, attendees will go through the provider’s obligations in terms of confidentiality and the responsibility to warn with both adult and juvenile populations.
