Ethics: Marriage and Family Therapists

Course overview

Providing marriage and family therapy (MFT) can be highly rewarding. It allows practitioners to help couples and families resolve conflicts, enhance their communication ability, and establish healthy dynamics. The practice of MFT also involves a unique set of circumstances that can pose challenges for providers, namely, that the provider's professional obligations extend to multiple individuals. It is, therefore, essential that, as an MFT, you understand the ethical standards of your profession. This course helps you stay on top of MFT ethics by reviewing relevant ethics standards and discussing issues and trends.
