Use of Touch in Psychotherapy

Tired of the same old LAW AND ETHICS workshop?

Join us Saturday, October 24 for this dynamic & interactive workshop and earn 6 CEUs to fulfill your law and ethics requirement.

Participants will:

  • identify four uses of touch in their private practice; 

  • describe three types of touch in therapeutic practice;

  • identify three types of boundary considerations pertaining to touch and;

    1. identify three countertransference issues that arise with the use of touch.

THE ETHICS OF TOUCH
“If a therapist decides to touch a given patient, s/he must do so in a thoughtful manner and must be willing to accept responsibility for the patient’s interpretation of the touch. Likewise, if the therapist decides not to touch, there must be a similar willingness to accept responsibility for the meanings that the patient will assign to the absence of a natural form of human contact.” (The Therapist, March/April 2011, Guest & Parker).
Intended for licensed & pre-licensed mental health professions & master & doctoral-level clinicians, physicians & psychiatric nurses.

Cost:  $115 registration fee.
