PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The omnipresence of technology has made group psychotherapists vulnerable to inadvertent boundary crossings, ethical breaches, and legal quandaries, especially given the almost-daily changes in the ways we communicate electronically. We will discuss the issues we need to be aware of, as well as ways to address these concerns.
