Risk Management in the Behavioral Health Professions is a
comprehensive handbook for mental health and social service
providers on prevention of malpractice lawsuits and licensing-board
complaints. Frederic G. Reamer draws on his extensive firsthand
experience as an expert witness in litigation and licensing-board
cases throughout the United States to give readers an insider's
view of practical risk-management strategies. He provides in-depth
discussion of common risk areas and steps practitioners can take to
protect clients and themselves. Key topics include confidentiality
and privileged communication; service delivery, including informed
consent, assessment, boundary issues, suicide risk management, and
use of technology; impaired practitioners; supervision and
consultation; documentation; deception and fraud; and interruption
and termination of services. Reamer offers pragmatic advice about
how to respond to a lawsuit or licensing-board complaint. He
emphasizes the challenges and risks related to remote service
provision, especially during public health crises and pandemics.
The book includes sample risk-management forms and templates as
well as extensive case examples that illustrate fundamental
risk-management concepts. Designed for behavioral health
professionals including social workers, psychologists, mental
health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychiatrists,
and substance use disorder treatment counselors, this book is an
indispensable resource on how to navigate challenging ethics and
risk-management issues.
