Florida Administrative Code › 64 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH › 64B19 - Board of Psychology › Chapter 64B19-16 - INVESTIGATORS, PROBABLE CAUSE PANEL, RECONSIDERATION OF PROBABLE CAUSE, SEXUAL MISCONDUCT › Section 64B19-16.003 - Sexual Misconduct in the Practice of Psychology

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) In accordance with
				the intent of Chapter 490, Florida Statutes, to preserve the health, safety and
				welfare of the public, sexual misconduct as defined herein is prohibited. The
				Board finds that the effects of the psychologist-client relationship are
				powerful and subtle and that clients are influenced consciously and
				subconsciously by the unequal distribution of power inherent in such
				relationships. The Board also finds that sexual intimacies with a former client
				are frequently harmful to the client, and that such intimacies undermine public
				confidence in the psychology profession and thereby deter the public's use of
				needed services. Furthermore, the Board finds that the effects of the
				psychologist-client relationship endure after psychological services cease to
				be rendered. Therefore, the client shall be presumed incapable of giving valid,
				informed, free consent to sexual activity involving the psychologist and the
				assertion of consent by the client shall not constitute a defense against
				charges of sexual misconduct.
(2)
				It shall constitute sexual misconduct for a psychologist, who is involved in a
				psychologist-client relationship, to engage, attempt to engage, or offer to
				engage the client in sexual intercourse or other sexual behavior. Sexual
				behavior includes, but is not limited to, kissing, or the touching by either
				the psychologist or the client of the other's breasts or genitals.
(3) It shall constitute sexual misconduct for
				a psychologist, who is involved in a psychologist-client relationship, to
				engage the client in verbal or physical behavior which is sexually arousing or
				demeaning to the client unless:
(a) Such
				behavior is for the purpose of treatment of psycho-sexual disorders or
				dysfunctions; and
(b) Such behavior
				complies with generally accepted professional standards for psychological
				treatment of the client's specific psycho-sexual disorders or
				dysfunctions.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
The following rules pertain to the requirement in Section
				   490.012(2),
				  F.S., that licensees must include the words "licensed psychologist" on all
				  professional advertisements:
(1) A
				professional advertisement is any medium used to solicit clients, such as a
				listing in the yellow pages of a telephone book or an announcement of the
				availability of services in the newspaper or on the radio or
				television.
(2) Business cards and
				stationery are not professional advertisements.
(3) A listing in the white pages of a
				telephone book is not a professional advertisement unless the listing is
				distinguishable from the listings of non-licensees.
(4) A professional advertisement must include
				the words "licensed psychologist" regardless of whether the licensee paid for
				the advertisement or not.
(5) A
				psychologist must include the words "licensed psychologist" on all
				advertisements in which the psychologist's name appears, even if the name
				appears as part of a professional association or any other entity providing
				psychological services.
(6) The
				Board recognizes that in some instances, a psychologist may not be aware of the
				fact that a yellow page listing exists for the psychologist. For that reason,
				the Board will not prosecute the psychologist unless the listing was paid for
				by the psychologist or by anyone other than the yellow page company. Upon
				receipt of information that a yellow page listing exists, however, the
				psychologist must either prevent a future listing from occurring or pay for the
				insertion of the words "licensed psychologist" in the
				listing.

(2) A psychologist who uses test instruments
				in the psychologist's practice of psychology:

				the underlying presumptions which govern the interpretive statements which
				would be made by the test instrument as a result of its completion by any
				service user;

				the psychologist's independent professional knowledge, evaluation and
				assessment of the individual who takes the test;

				of each person who assisted the psychologist in the administration of the test,
				and the role which that person played in the administration of the

				  Nor will the Board consider it a violation for a psychologist to treat a minor

				  to have authority to consent to treatment. This rule, however, may not be used
				  to circumvent other disciplinary action against the psychologist in the

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) It is a conflict of
				interest for a psychologist who has treated a minor or any of the adults
				involved in a dissolution of marriage, support, or time-sharing action as
				defined by Chapter 61, F.S., to perform a forensic evaluation for the purpose
				of recommending a time-sharing schedule and parenting plan. Consequently, a
				psychologist who treats a minor or any of the adults involved in a dissolution
				of marriage, support, or time-sharing action as defined by Chapter 61, F.S.,
				may not also perform a forensic evaluation for the purposes of recommending a
				time-sharing schedule or parenting plan. So long as confidentiality is not
				violated, a psychologist may provide a court, or a mental health professional
				performing a forensic evaluation, with factual information about the minor
				derived from treatment, but shall not state an opinion about time-sharing
				schedules and parenting plans.
(2)
				The psychologist who serves as an evaluator shall not also serve as guardian ad
				litem, mediator, therapist or parenting coordinator regarding the children in
				the instant case. The psychologist who has had a prior role as guardian ad
				litem, mediator, therapist or parenting coordinator shall not serve as an
