Synopsis: Technology and the internet have ushered in new ways of engaging, serving, and meeting with clients. Increasingly, clinicians are providing services via technology and the internet.
This new reality has forced providers to be more creative in offering remote and electronic services to clients. Clinicians are still bound to many of the same ethical and legal standards; however, the digital age has brought forth a new set of challenges that we must consider. The presenter will discuss various ethical considerations related to providing e-therapy and electronic clinical services. We will also provide suggestions regarding navigating ethical challenges related to offering services via other forms of technology (telephone, email, and more).
