User Rights and Counselor Obligations
Licensed Counselors have clinical guidelines set forth by their state licensing boards, to help to ensure quality ethical treatment. Some of these guidelines incorporate state laws, while others are set in place to prevent unethical practices. The therapist is obligated to provide information about treatment protocol, often called "informed consent" which is informative literature on the process of therapy, costs, confidentiality policies, security measures on the internet, and termination policies. It includes information about what can and can not be disclosed from the records created and kept by the therapist. It can also include treatment approaches used, and other important rules for the operation of the therapeutic alliance. This information may include, but not be limited to: Fees Confidentiality Record Security Abuse Issues and what must be reported Process of Subpoena Records Dual Relationships Unpaid Fees and Collection Procedures Boundary Issues in Therapy Experience of the Practitioner Termination of Therapy Aftercare Additional Information that Would Influence Your Decisions About Therapy |
