Mental health professionals in private practice strive for clinical
and financial success. Yet, there are myriad ethical issues and
dilemmas awaiting every practitioner that serve as challenges to
being successful for even the most clinically competent and savvy
business persons. Some ethics issues are obvious while others are
more subtle and can undermine the best intentions of practitioners
who have not prepared for these challenges. Graduate training
programs in the mental health professions offer courses in ethics
for their students, but few offer practical training in the
application of ethics to the business of practice. A resource
focusing specifically on these challenges has been sorely needed.
The Ethics of Private Practice helps mental health professionals
understand the essential ethical issues related to many of the
challenges of being in independent mental health practice. Seasoned
clinicians Barnett, Zimmerman, and Walfish offer readers astute
insight to help them build a practice that is designed to minimize
unintended ethical violations and reduce associated risks. Each
chapter focuses on a major aspect of the business of practice and
incorporates relevant standards from the ethics codes of four
mental health professions. Topics addressed include planning one's
private practice, successfully running and managing one's practice,
documentation and record keeping, dealing with third parties and
protecting confidentiality, managing practice finances and making
financial decisions, staff training and office policies,
advertising and the effective marketing of one's practice,
continuing professional development activities, and the closing of
a private practice. The authors discuss important questions such
as: What do you do as a practitioner when your best referral source
wants to become your client? What is appropriate use of social
media? How should you respond when a managed care company denies
authorization for treatment for a client that you know is in
obvious need of further treatment? Full of practical tips that can
be readily implemented, The Ethics of Private Practice is sure to
be a handy, go-to resource for mental health clinicians in private
practice.
