These are but 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.
Bruce E. Bennett, Ph.D., Eric A.
Harris, Ed.D., J.D., and Jeffrey N.
Younggren, Ph.D. have drawn upon their
extensive experience in law and clinical practice as well as
consultations to psychologists in all aspects of professional
practice to develop this nationally acclaimed risk management
workshop, specifically designed for psychologists. In
addition to reducing the risk that a successful malpractice
action will be brought, the workshop will assist
practitioners to better cope with potential complaints to
licensing boards and ethics committees, and to respond to
increasing accountability requirements mandated by third
party reimbursement sources. The Trust Risk Management
Workshop, often co-sponsored by state psychological
associations, has been presented over 50 times during the
past 2½ years.
