Description: |
In addressing the changing dynamics of clinical practice, the modern psychotherapist faces many challenges. Some of these challenges include appropriately documenting patient treatment; working with managed care clients; obtaining prior authorizations for treatment; creating and maintaining appropriate clinical records for clients; practicing risk management; and creating a safe clinical practice.
The Standard of Care, defined as the care that a reasonable and prudent therapist provides her or his clients, mandates that appropriate mental health records be kept in clinical practice. Additionally, many states mandate that the therapists keep appropriate mental health records to meet their legal Therapeutic Duty. Therapeutic Duty is one of the legal and ethical responsibilities imposed on psychotherapists to create therapeutic safety each time they assess, diagnose, and provide treatment to a client.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) are legally and ethically required to keep mental health records. This course addresses the Standard of Care in the content and documentation of mental health records. Addressed in detail will be (a) the purpose and content of these legal documents, (b) the writing of legally prudent case notes, and (c) the documentation of legal and ethical issues.
