Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
A psychotherapist-client relationship is established between
				  a psychotherapist and a person once a psychotherapist renders, or purports to
				  render, clinical social work, marriage and family therapy or mental health
				  services including, but not limited to, psychotherapy, counseling, assessment
				  or treatment to that person. A formal contractual relationship, the scheduling
				  of professional appointments, or payment of a fee for services are not
				  necessary conditions for the establishment of a psychotherapist-client
				  relationship, although each of these may be evidence that such a relationship
				  exists.
(1) Sexual misconduct, as
				defined in Rule 64B4-10.002, F.A.C., with a
				client is prohibited.
(2) For
				purposes of determining the existence of sexual misconduct the
				psychotherapist-client relationship, once established, is deemed to continue
				for a minimum of 2 years after termination of psychotherapy or the date of the
				last professional contact with the client. However, beyond that 2 year time
				period, the mere passage of time since the client's last visit with the
				psychotherapist is not the sole determinative of whether or not the
				psychotherapist-client relationship has been terminated. Some of the factors
				considered by the Board in determining whether the psychotherapist-client
				relationship has terminated include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) Formal termination procedures;
(b) Transfer of the client's case to another
				psychotherapist;
(c) The length of
				the professional relationship;
(d)
				The extent to which the client has confided personal or private information to
				the psychotherapist;
(e) The nature
				of the client's problem; and,
(f)
				The degree of emotional dependence that the client has on the
				psychotherapist.
