RECOGNISING MENTAL ILLNESS IN YOUR PATIENT

One in five Australians will experience some form of mental illness in a given year. It is therefore crucial that all nurses working in a general hospital setting are familiar with the different types of mental illnesses in order to provide optimum patient care and coordinate with members of the mental health team. This incisive and accessible program introduces schizophrenia and mood disorders, including depression and mania/hypomania, providing nurses with diagnostic criteria and a detailed understanding of how a patient may present when suffering from a mental illness. The program concludes with nursing interventions and traditional treatment protocols, including assessment and medication.

LEGAL & ETHICAL ISSUES FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, VOLUME I: CONFIDENTIALITY, PRIVILEGE, REPORTING, AND DUTY TO WARN

By Stephen Feldman, JD, PhD

  • What's the difference between privilege and confidentiality?
  • When are therapists allowed to break confidentiality and when are they required to?
  • When can progress notes or confidential psychotherapy notes be subpoenaed as evidence in a trial?
  • How does a therapist know when to break confidentiality to warn someone of potential danger?
  • What exactly does "reasonable cause to suspect" mean when deciding whether to report child abuse?
  • Is failing to report child abuse an ethical violation, or is it actually a crime?

    This comprehensive DVD course will answer all these questions and more. You'll learn how the laws impact your practice, as you watch these lively dramatizations of a judge and her law clerk discuss actual key cases in the creation of mental health laws including Tarasoff and Jaffe V. Redmond. As the judge debates both sides of the argument and makes her decisions, you'll see how court rulings became laws and how they impact clinical, ethical, legal and moral concerns.

    From watching this program, you'll know how to:

  • Describe the differences between confidentiality and privilege
  • Define mandated, permitted and authorized breaches of confidentiality
  • Discuss situations in which mental health providers have a duty to warn
  • Explain a mental health professional's duty to report child and elder abuse
  • Identify common exceptions to confidentiality

    LEGAL & ETHICAL ISSUES FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, VOLUME II: DUAL RELATIONSHIPS, BOUNDARIES, STANDARDS OF CARE AND TERMINATION

    With Stephen Feldman, JD, PhD

    A pragmatic, informative and entertaining video offering solutions to the common ethical dilemmas that mental health practitioners face. This video is ideal for classrooms, clinical trainings, and licensed clinicians completing their CE requirement.

    Do you know...

  • Good recordkeeping is what can help you the most if a complaint is brought against you by your licensing board?
  • Ethical rules vary by licensing board and state when it comes to such vital issues as confidentiality and privilege?
  • What makes a boundary crossing a boundary violation, and when that violation becomes unethical and exploitive?
  • The different standards of care as treatment provider and evaluator?

    Volume II of this series addresses ethics, and the particular concern of being investigated by one's licensing board for an alleged violation. Specifically, these four lively discussions between a psychologist, lawyer and journalist cover such murky matters as: bartering, boundaries, touch, self-disclosure, gifts, multiple-member clients such as couples and families, the initiation of treatment, breaches in confidentiality, ending treatment, electronic records, HIPAA, client debt, client suicide and a clinician's death. Presented by Stephen Feldman, an expert in mental health law, this video lays out simple changes all clinicians can make to protect themselves and their practice. This is an invaluable resource that will dispel doubts and fears, enabling therapists to practice more confidently.

    From watching this video, you'll be able to:

  • Explain different forms of dual relationships and boundary crossings and the complexities they can bring to your practice.
  • Define exactly who your client is, what your role is in the therapeutic relationship, and what legal and ethical obligations you have towards your client.
  • Describe the different purposes, forms and benefits of recordkeeping, and ethical procedures for ending and referring treatment

    UNDERSTANDING PERSONALITY DISORDERS

    The world of mental illness is one that is most often engulfed in shadows - shadows of the heart, shadows of the mind, and shadows of the soul. For many people, the onset of a psychological disorder goes undiagnosed and untreated, and, as a result, they face a constant, if not impossible, struggle to maintain good mental health. This can be especially true when individuals suffer from a personality disorder. Often referred to as quirks, eccentricities, or simply bad behavior, personality disorders can be mild enough to seem normal - and thus, go untreated - or severe enough to have a devastatingly negative impact upon a life. However, with identification and understanding, crippling personality disorders can be brought out of the shadows of ignorance and into the light of treatment.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Students will learn what defines a personality disorder.
  • Students will learn about the category of personality disorder known as Odd and Eccentric, including symptoms and methods of treatment.
  • Students will explore the characteristics and treatment for the category of personality disorders labeled as Dramatic, Emotional, and Erratic.
  • Students will examine the symptoms and treatment for the category of personality disorders classified as Anxious, Apprehensive, and Fearful.

    CODEPENDENCY, EMOTIONAL VIOLENCE, AND DOMESTIC ABUSE

    The development of a healthy relationship between two people gives them the opportunity to express mutual respect and love for one another. However, being involved in a toxic relationship, one marked by codependency, emotional violence, or domestic abuse, can be emotionally and physically damaging and sometimes even fatal. These unacceptable behaviors must first be recognized for what they are. If a person is able to find the strength to leave a negative relationship and seek counseling, the result can be a gradual recovery of physical and emotional health for abused individuals and their loved ones. This program contains graphic material relating to domestic abuse that may not be suitable for all audiences. Teachers are encouraged to review this program before using it in their classroom.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Students will learn what codependency is, what its characteristics are, who suffers from it, and what its effects are.
  • Students will take a look at emotional violence and explore what it is.
  • Students will identify signs to look for to determine if they or someone they know is enduring emotional violence in his or her relationship.
  • Students will learn about the negative effects of emotional violence.
  • Students will examine domestic abuse and learn what it is, what the signs of domestic abuse are, and what negative effects accompany domestic abuse.
  • Students will explore some strategies to learn how to avoid codependency, how to end emotional violence, and how to escape domestic abuse.

    YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH: GETTING OVER GRIEF

    The way young people experience grief at the loss of a friend or loved one has often in the past been misunderstood or at worst ignored. The need to share with peers their feelings of loss and bereavement cannot be under estimated, nor can the desire to remember the dead in tangible ways.

    In this program teenagers talk about their responses to the loss of a friend, and a mother whose son died of cancer discusses how she has coped with loss in a practical and creative manner. A school's response to the death of a student is described by a principal and grief counsellor, and we gain an understanding of the stages of grief and how the community can support bereaved young people.
