Developed with author Terrie Yardley Nohr, the 3 CE hour Ethics, Boundaries and Client Relationships course uses Chapters 5-7 of the textbook Ethics for Massage Therapists. This course will present you with current information on keeping proper boundaries with clients, from the first phone call through the massage session. Boundaries set the guidelines between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors in the massage profession. In most instances, when an issue occurs, it is because a boundary has been crossed. This course covers the five most prominent boundaries and provides guidelines to prevent an issue from occurring. The Client/Therapist relationship can be diverse and complex, and this course will provide guidelines to assist therapists in navigating this relationship. This course meets the NCBTMB's 3 CE hour ethics requirement, as well as many state boards' ethics requirement!
In this thought provoking, 3 CE hour ethics course, you will be presented with:
The definition of boundaries and different types of boundaries
Information on client-therapist relationships
Information on transference, countertransference, dual relationships, and the power differential
Information on sexuality and how to properly set boundaries around sexuality
You Will Receive: Ethics for Massage Therapists text, Chapters 5-7 by Terrie Yardley Nohr, guide with instructions, online exam of 15 questions, course evaluation, certificate of achievement upon completion, and unlimited phone support for any of your questions.
