Description: "This book is divided into three sections. In Section 1, we explain the types of professional risks, the disciplining processes of licensing boards and other disciplinary bodies, and basic information on incorporating ethical decision making into risk management decisions. In Section 2, we review three major facets of risk management: informed consent, documentation, and consultation. In Section 3, we review specific areas of professional liability, including competence, boundary violations, breaches of confidentiality, forensic work, psychological assessment, treating suicidal and other life-endangering patients, termination and abandonment, business issues, retirement and more. Throughout this book, we present and analyze case examples using the RM formula to illustrate risk management principles"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).
