Use of Touch In Psychotherapy

Tired of the same old LAW AND ETHICS WORKSHOP?

Join us for this dynamic and 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 useful in telehealth practice;

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

  • Identify three countertransference issues that arise with the use 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).

DETAILS:

Intended for licensed and pre-licensed mental health professions and masters and doctoral level clinicians, physicians and psychiatric nurses.
