A brief summary of statutory requirements (NRS 641), regulations (NAC 641), and professional ethics applicable to Psychologists, Alcohol and Drug Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Professional Counselors, Clinical Social Workers and Supervisors will provide a foundation. Advanced ethical concepts, standards and vulnerabilities that could result in breaches will be explored. Client centered solutions for enhancing the therapeutic alliance, maintaining professional boundaries, engaging mandated clients, eliciting goals in which clients are invested, and respecting cultural and socioeconomic influences will frame a discussion of best practice ideas. Case Planning and Neurolinguistic strategies will be illustrated. Evidence-based and practice-based-evidence outcome research will be discussed. Clinicians’ personal barriers to objectivity, such as expectancy bias, will be explained. Frequently overlooked statutory requirements for informed consent, release of information and related forms, court orders, and client protections will be identified. In order to promote awareness and applicability of legal and ethical standards, we will discuss scenarios derived from substantiated complaints against clinicians and supervisors.
