Risk Management in Clinical Practice

Course Description

The practice of professional psychology can be risky for practitioners, especially those new to practice. Risk can arise from many sources, from high-peril clients to inattentiveness, to details in completing paperwork. This course will teach students to recognize risk, whatever the source, and to make appropriate ethical, legal, and clinical decisions that minimize risk of patient harm, physical harm to the clinician, and potential disciplinary or legal actions. Restricted to students in the Doctorate of Clinical Psychology program.
