Module 3 Assignment:
Ethical Case Study : A therapist has been in practice for 10 years where he has focused on individual clients. The therapist completed a four-hour continuing education workshop on family therapy and offered family therapy sessions to some clients while reading books in this specialty in his spare time.
A recently licensed therapist, Joy, observes that many of her colleagues suffer from burnout. She decides to prevent this from happening to her. Joy schedules several extended vacations throughout the year and arranges for other therapists to see her clients in case of an emergency. Joy believes that this takes care of her professional responsibilities. However, none of her clients are made aware of this arrangement in the informed consent process that took place at the beginning of therapy. When she takes her vacations, she then informs her clients of her unavailability for several weeks.
