Keeping Good Professional Boundaries in Medical Practice:
This program describes the theoretical foundations and shows (using DVD clips) the practical application of boundaries in clinical process. The foundation of good quality medicine is not only scientific and technical, it is also ethical. Boundaries are essential to an appropriate therapeutic relationship. As helpers we need to know boundaries well so we can get as close to a patient without intruding upon, or "using" a patient in any way. (Partly based on journal articles by Dr. Michael Paré.)
Learning Objectives:
- The different between Boundary Crossings and Boundary Violations
- What do we mean by a "boundary" in a psychotherapeutic relationship?
- What is the therapeutic frame?
- How can the risk of sexual abuse be minimized in psychotherapy?
This Group Learning program has been certified by the National Office of the College of Family Physicians of Canada for 6 MainPro+ credits per 3 hour session.
Speakers: Dr. Gail Erlick Robinson, MD, FRCP (C) and Dr. Michael Pare, M.D., M.Sc., M.Ed.,
