Psychotherapy Myths & Faulty Beliefs is a new 1-hour video continuing education (CE) course that explores some of the key beliefs concerning standard of care and ethics in psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy Myths & Faulty Beliefs is a new 1-hour video continuing education (CE) course that explores some of the key beliefs concerning standard of care and ethics in psychotherapy.

Dr. Zur’s critical approach will help participants redefine best practices as they explore the following psychotherapy myths:

  • The Inherent ‘Power Differential’
  • Physical Touch in Psychotherapy is Unethical and Leads to Sex
  • The DSM is a Scientifically Valid and Reliable Document
  • Dual Relationships in Counseling are Always Unethical
  • “Don’t Blame the Victim” (Victims are Always 100% Innocent?)
  • Risk Management is an Inherent Part of the Standard of Care
  • Malpractice Lawsuits Against Psychotherapists and Counselors are Common
  • As the Slippery-Slope Argument Predicts, Boundary Crossings Inevitably Lead to Boundary Violations
  • It is Never, Ever Ethical, Legal, or OK for a Psychotherapist to Be Naked with a Client
  • ‘Distance Care’ is New
