Behavioral Health Ethics for Agency Settings

Room Paradise Ballroom B

Speaker(s): 

Terri Cooley-Bennett, LCSW, LSCSW, CCDP-D, TTS

Description: 

Providing clinical services to vulnerable populations is a common responsibility for practitioners in agency settings. Agency practice increases the potential for vicarious liability and other ethical considerations that may not be present in private practice. “Imputed Negligence” or the “doctrine of respondeat superior” means that practioners can be held accountable for the unethical behaviors of colleagues, in the workplace (Houston-Vega; Nuehring; & Daguio, 1997). When an employee, supervisee, or colleague displays improper conduct toward a client, visitor, or student; supervisors, leaders, colleagues, and supervisees may be held accountable. Vicarious Liability means that practitioners are liable and ethically responsible and obligated to ensure that clients not harmed. If a colleague is unethical, practitioners are obligated to address the situation.
Adequately managing ethical dilemmas and preventing ethical violations is an important aspect of practice and aides in providing best customer service to clients, patients, guests, colleagues, and others.

Objectives

  • Provide overview of common ethical principles related to behavioral health practice in an agency setting
  • Define Vicarious Liability and discuss the variety of ways that professionals and clinicians can be held accountable for Vicarious Liability or “imputed negligence”
  • Consider potential ethical dilemmas that arise from Vicarious Liability and introduce options for managing the dilemma
  • Examine strategies and best practices for preventing and managing complaints and ethical dilemma in practice
