Ethics and Risk Management: Legal and Ethical Risks and Risk Management in Professional Practice
Experts agree that regardless of what happens with healthcare reform legislation at the state and national level, the industrialization of the healthcare system is going to continue. New practice models will require psychologists to confront an increasingly complex legal environment. The development of an effective risk management strategy will be essential for career and economic survival.
These are a few of the developments that have increased the liability and disciplinary exposure that psychologists now face. At the same time, many sources report an increase in the number of complaints to licensing boards and professional ethics committees, where even a minor disciplinary sanction can seriously damage or even destroy a career. It is not uncommon for managed care to reject practitioners who have been sanctioned by any disciplinary body or have lost or agreed to non-nuisance settlements in a malpractice case.
Workshops are designed to help you:
- Recognize the major elements of disciplinary complaints and malpractice suits;
- Identify situations that present the greatest risk to practitioners, both now and in the future;
- Implement a system of specific procedural strategies that will reduce the risk of malpractice actions and disciplinary complaints;
- Recognize essential information about laws governing therapeutic confidentiality and its exceptions;
- Implement an effective procedure of providing “informed consent” to clients, including a sample psychologist/patient contract; and,
- Determine how and when to consult with others to reduce the risk of malpractice.

Learning Objectives
- Workshop Description: For over two decades, The Trust has worked to educate and support psychologists in improving their ethics and risk management skills and strategies through live workshops, webinars, risk management consultations, and expanded resources. This 14th Workshop in our Sequence series continues to emphasize applied, integrated, and strategic methods to help you stay grounded in ethical principles and practices, thereby protecting you from adverse disciplinary and legal actions. In today’s swiftly changing landscape, psychologists are witnessing a surge of fresh opportunities and possibilities. These emerging frontiers not only broaden the scope of professional activities for aiding clients and patients through innovative methods but also offer avenues to enhance and support practice in ways that were once unimaginable. However, these new territories also come with their own set of unique challenges, unforeseen risks, and uncertainties. Workshop XIV is dedicated to exploring the ethical considerations and risk management strategies essential to navigating these novel domains in psychological practice. Specific topics include: necessary considerations for expanding one’s practice into new areas, psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT), and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) In psychological practice, issues related to digital security, new understandings of PSYPACT and interjurisdictional telepsychology (IJTP), and effectively managing transitions in one’s practice (e.g., new employment, retirement, disability/illness, and professional wills).
- Learning Objectives:
- Describe basic principles of ethics and risk management, as applied to several specific clinical situations that arise in professional practice.
- List at least three areas of the ethics code relevant to expanding one’s psychological practice into new directions.
- Describe potential risks psychologists face when growing their business in new areas.
- Summarize at least three risk management strategies that can assist in mitigating risk.
- Explain the current state of legality regarding this model of treatment; identify areas of unique risk when practicing PAT; and delineate at least five specific strategies for ethically managing those risks.
- Define psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT).
- Differentiate between legal and illegal interjurisdictional telepsychology (IJTP) practice and explain multiple avenues for legal practice.
- Define three benefits and three risks of using artificial intelligence in psychological practice.
- Identify three aspects of HIPAA that apply to privacy and security in emerging technology.
- Summarize four steps in preparing for transitions in professional practice, and three action steps when these changes occur.

For information on attending this seminar, call the New Mexico Psychological Association at (505) 883-7376. | Email: [email protected]
Learning Objectives
- Workshop Description: Psychological practice today unfolds within an increasingly complex and interconnected landscape—one that places unprecedented demands on both new and experienced clinicians. Expanding scopes of practice, rapidly evolving technologies, interjurisdictional care, and continued ethical and regulatory scrutiny have fundamentally reshaped what it means to practice responsibly. The challenge goes beyond understanding ethical principles to applying them skillfully, compassionately, and coherently across overlapping roles, systems, and expectations where decisions in one area often ripple outward into others. This workshop offers an integrated, systems-informed framework for navigating complexity with clarity and confidence, supporting thoughtful, care-driven decision-making that protects clients, preserves trust, and sustains clinicians over time.
- Three interconnected dimensions of contemporary practice will be explored. Participants will examine the relational foundations of ethical work, including informed consent as an ongoing process and the management of multiple relationships and boundary complexities that arise when professional roles and contexts intersect. The focus then turns to the digital and interjurisdictional landscape, addressing ethical responsibilities related to artificial intelligence (AI), digital privacy, and practicing across regions and regulatory contexts— where actions in one setting can have implications far beyond it. The workshop concludes with the legal and regulatory dimensions of modern practice, including documentation, multi-state practice considerations, and responding skillfully to licensing board complaints as professional reach and responsibility expand.
- Throughout, the emphasis is on helping clinicians make integrated, ethical, and defensible decisions in a complex environment without becoming reactive, overly cautious, or disconnected from care. Participants will leave with practical strategies, renewed clarity, and a steadier sense of how to strengthen their professional structures and practice ethically, responsibly, and sustainably within today’s evolving landscape.
- Learning Objectives:
- Describe at least four methods to improve ethical and risk management decision-making
- Identify three elements of a fully informed consent process
- Delineate at least three steps in determining whether a boundary crossing is more likely to be a harmful violation
- Define four aspects of AI that should be evaluated before its adoption for professional practice
- List at least three ethical and risk management aspects of interjurisdictional practice
- Describe three central themes in documentation
- Identify three methods of addressing licensing board complaints

Sequence XVI: Risk, Relationship, and Responsibility: Ethics and Risk Management in the Web of Modern Practice Virtual, CA | June
Presented by: California Psychological Association
Presenter: Daniel O. Taube, J.D., Ph.D.
For information on attending this seminar, call the California Psychological Association at (916) 286 – 7979.
Learning Objectives
- Workshop Description: Psychological practice today unfolds within an increasingly complex and interconnected landscape—one that places unprecedented demands on both new and experienced clinicians. Expanding scopes of practice, rapidly evolving technologies, interjurisdictional care, and continued ethical and regulatory scrutiny have fundamentally reshaped what it means to practice responsibly. The challenge goes beyond understanding ethical principles to applying them skillfully, compassionately, and coherently across overlapping roles, systems, and expectations where decisions in one area often ripple outward into others. This workshop offers an integrated, systems-informed framework for navigating complexity with clarity and confidence, supporting thoughtful, care-driven decision-making that protects clients, preserves trust, and sustains clinicians over time.
- Three interconnected dimensions of contemporary practice will be explored. Participants will examine the relational foundations of ethical work, including informed consent as an ongoing process and the management of multiple relationships and boundary complexities that arise when professional roles and contexts intersect. The focus then turns to the digital and interjurisdictional landscape, addressing ethical responsibilities related to artificial intelligence (AI), digital privacy, and practicing across regions and regulatory contexts— where actions in one setting can have implications far beyond it. The workshop concludes with the legal and regulatory dimensions of modern practice, including documentation, multi-state practice considerations, and responding skillfully to licensing board complaints as professional reach and responsibility expand.
- Throughout, the emphasis is on helping clinicians make integrated, ethical, and defensible decisions in a complex environment without becoming reactive, overly cautious, or disconnected from care. Participants will leave with practical strategies, renewed clarity, and a steadier sense of how to strengthen their professional structures and practice ethically, responsibly, and sustainably within today’s evolving landscape.
- Learning Objectives:
- Describe at least four methods to improve ethical and risk management decision-making
- Identify three elements of a fully informed consent process
- Delineate at least three steps in determining whether a boundary crossing is more likely to be a harmful violation
- Define four aspects of AI that should be evaluated before its adoption for professional practice
- List at least three ethical and risk management aspects of interjurisdictional practice
- Describe three central themes in documentation
- Identify three methods of addressing licensing board complaints
- TBD
- 6 Ethics Continuing Education Credits
- 15% of your Trust Sponsored Professional Liability Policy premium (for 2 consecutive years at policy renewal).
