This intermediate-level course explores the complexities of bartering in the context of boundary crossings and dual relationships in psychotherapy. The course maps types of bartering (i.e. goods, services), discusses the relationships between and definitions of bartering, boundary crossing and dual relationships, explores the applications to poor clients and to those from different cultures, provides bartering vignettes, reviews the ethics codes on bartering, outlines the objections to bartering and offers clinical and ethical guidelines for employing, specifically, bartering and, more generally, boundary crossing and dual relationships.
The course consists of one short introductory video (transcript provided), two audios with transcripts and three articles. The first set includes one audio and two articles and discusses the complexities and types of bartering. The following audio then provides the more general context of psychotherapeutic boundaries in which the discussion of boundaries is taking place. The final article critically reviews the different Professional Associations&#8217; Codes of Ethics on Bartering in psychotherapy. Additional resources and references are provided for further study, but they are not part of the course.

Bartering in Psychotherapy:  Ethical and Clinical Considerations

<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Sexuality Common Myths Intro" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1028952335?h=573b462aa6&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media"></iframe>
NOTE TO PSYCHOLOGISTS: For psychologists not licensed in CA, NY, &amp; VA Continuing Education certificates will be designated as home study.
DESCRIPTION: Most therapists get very little training in sexuality. The public would be quite surprised, for example, that a counselor can get licensed without hearing the words vibrator, infidelity, prostate, or cunnilingus during their education.
Without specialized training, clinicians are left to rely on personal experience (which may not be so great), religious beliefs (which may not match our clients’), or the ideas of popular culture. And so most therapists base their interventions regarding sexuality on stereotypes, distortions, and factual errors without knowing it.
In this fast-paced webinar, award-winning sex therapist Dr. Marty Klein will highlight the most common myths therapists have about sexuality—that is, common sources of clinical errors. You may be surprised to learn, for example, that:
~ Preferences for kinky sex are sometimes wholesome and healthy, and sometimes an expression of emotional pathology.
~ Pornography is rarely the actual subject when couples are in conflict about pornography.
~ In roughly half of all heterosexual cases of desire discrepancy, the higher desire partner is female.
~ In cases of infidelity, requiring the Betrayer to disclose every last detail of the affair can destroy the primary relationship.
~ The solution for couples’ sexual dissatisfaction is rarely better erections, orgasm, or desire—even though that’s what couples routinely ask for.
In cases involving intimacy, power struggles, self-esteem, body image, and infidelity, sexuality is typically an issue. It’s crucial to approach these cases with accurate information, free from popular myths and cultural bias. This fast-paced webinar will challenge the way you’ve been dealing with sexual issues—and inspire you to discover and critique beliefs you didn’t even realize you had. 
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

Sexuality: Common Myths That Undermine Treatment

DESCRIPTION: Ozempic and related drugs now help people lose up to 20% of their body weight  with generally manageable side effects. As the price of these drugs drops, even more of our patients will take them.
How are these drugs (GLP-1 agonists) affecting couples and families? What about the self-image, decision-making, and sexual choices of individuals who finally lose weight after years of struggle and failure? How are the mates, children, friends, and co-workers responding to familiar people with suddenly unfamiliar bodies? And how are these slimmer people responding to others’ responses to them?
Not every newly-slim person will revel in the new attention they get at work. Not every couple will easily navigate the de-centering of food in one partner’s life. Not every lifelong-shy person will feel comfortable with the increased encouragement to socialize. Not every marriage will enjoy the melting away of one newly-slim partner’s sexual inhibitions. Not every newly-slim parent will know how to deal with their teenagers’ envy or insecurity. And not every newly-slim person will feel comfortable admitting how they’ve lost all that weight. And what about the loss of identity?
Therapists and healthcare professionals need to address the emotional and systemic effects of these new weight-loss drugs. Rather than waiting for patients to raise these issues, we must be prepared to ask lots of questions about their challenges.
Video will only be available for 30 days after the webinar.

NOTE TO PSYCHOLOGISTS: For psychologists not licensed in CA, NY, &amp; VA Continuing Education certificates will be designated as home study.
DESCRIPTION: With the growing diversity of clients seeking mental health care, there is a pressing need to improve the cultural sensitivity of therapeutic interventions, particularly for Arab Americans as a minority group. The Arab American community is a culturally diverse ethnic group that has received relatively little attention in academic and clinical literature compared to other ethnic groups in the United States. This webinar will provide an overview of Arab populations, focusing on their ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity. It will also explore the impact of both actual and perceived experiences of discrimination and prejudice on the mental health of Arab clients. The seminar will offer clinical recommendations for culturally sensitive treatment strategies to support clinicians working with this population.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Griswold Notes Webinar Intro" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/831293849?h=ec9901c937&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media"></iframe>
This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: If you are a psychotherapist who never received training in how to write progress notes, you are in good company.  But you may not realize how your current note-keeping habits can hurt you — or your clients.  Especially with insurance plans more frequently reviewing client charts — even those of out-of-network therapists — this training couldn’t be more essential.
This three-hour webinar will give you a great overview of how to write progress notes, with an eye toward meeting legal, ethical, and licensing boards requirements.  You&#8217;ll be given tips to create brief, helpful notes that can allow you to feel confident if you ever receive a records request, or if you have to defend yourself in a complaint.   In addition, you will learn about health plan documentation requirements, in case you are audited.  For all therapists, more detailed notes can mean protecting ourselves, as well as helping clients get the treatment they deserve.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

What’s Missing From Your Charts: Writing Great Notes

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Med Probs vs Mental Health Probs Intro" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1064804746?h=5a7f5b2fd0&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media"></iframe>
This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.
DESCRIPTION: Mental health symptoms aren’t always what they seem—fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, panic attacks, and even memory problems can sometimes be signs of underlying medical conditions rather than purely psychological disorders. What if your client’s “treatment-resistant depression” is actually a thyroid disorder? Or their panic attacks are being fueled by undiagnosed heart issues?
As a mental health professional, you’re the first line of defense in helping clients get the care they need—but recognizing when to treat, investigate further, or refer out can be tricky. This practical, eye-opening training will give you the confidence to differentiate medical from psychiatric conditions so you can stop second-guessing, make smarter clinical decisions, and ensure your clients receive the right treatment.
Among the topics covered in this webinar include:
<ul style="font-weight: 400; text-align: left;">
<li>The top medical conditions that masquerade as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even psychosis</li>
<li>5 key screening questions (+ follow-ups!) to help you determine if symptoms might have a medical cause</li>
<li>When to refer to a medical provider—and how to advocate when medical concerns are dismissed</li>
<li>How sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle factors can mimic or worsen psychiatric symptoms</li>
<li>Real-world case examples to help you apply your knowledge in practice</li>
</ul>
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
