Individual therapy for married individuals presents multiple ethical challenges, particularly concerning the principles of beneficence (optimizing benefits) and inadvertent maleficence (doing harm to the client, their spouse, or their marriage). Additionally, ethical dilemmas regarding dual relationships versus the one-therapist rule, therapist competence, and confidentiality present unique considerations when a client is married. Via research, case examples, and experiential learning, this webinar explores these multiple ethical dilemmas, then offers potential solutions.
