520 Each chapter in The Counselor and the Law has been updated
to reflect changes in the 2014 ACA Code of Ethics,
findings of recent court cases, and new federal and state
legislation. Attorney Nancy Wheeler and Burt Bertram, a
private practitioner and counselor educator, provide a
comprehensive overview of the law as it pertains to
counseling practice; an in-depth look at counselors' legal
and ethical responsibilities; and an array of risk
management strategies. This edition contains a
thoroughly updated chapter on distance counseling,
technology, and social media; regulatory updates to the
HIPAA and the HITECH Act; and recent case law developments
regarding legal risks for counselor educators. The issues
surrounding civil malpractice liability, licensure board
complaints, confidentiality, duty to warn, suicide and
threats of harm to self, professional boundaries, records
and documentation, and managing a counseling practice are
also addressed in detail
