MCFT 505 - Systemic Ethics Ethics

3
This course provides students with a solid foundation for the ethical practice of therapy with couples, families, and individuals in accordance with the Code of Ethics of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). In addition to the issues common to all therapists, the course will address the unique ethical/legal issues related to systemic therapy, such as working with multiple family members and secrets. Professional and legal issues in the practice of marriage and family therapy will be reviewed as well as practice in response to issues in clinical risk management (i.e., harm of self and others).
