Legal and Ethical Issues in Multiclient Situations
Couple and family therapists face numerous legal and ethical challenges that are different than working in individual therapy circumstances. Ethics codes do not give clear guidance when attending to multiclient issues. This discussion will address confidentiality, informed consent, holding secrets, multicultural issues and handling subpoenas when the therapist is “in the middle” in a multiclient situation.
