Therapist Competence
Professional codes of ethics on competence have common themes.
Counselors practice only within the boundaries of competence, based on:
education
training
supervised experience
state and national professional credentials
appropriate professional experience.

Assessment of Competence
Assessment approaches are most effective when they integrate both formative and summative evaluations.
Formative assessment is a developmentally informed process that provides useful feedback during one’s training and throughout one’s professional career.
Summative assessment is an end point evaluation typically completed at the end of a professional program or when applying for licensure status.

Developing or Upgrading Skills
Work with colleagues or professionals who have more experience.
Seek consultation before moving outside areas in which you have received education and training.
Learn new skills by attending conferences, reading professional articles, taking courses, and participating in workshops.

Making Referrals
You may need to refer a client if the resources are limited in the setting in which you work.
You may also need to refer a client if the boundaries of your professional role restrict you from delivering the services your client needs.
Referring a client because of a value system conflict is not ethically acceptable.
If the client needs a higher level of care than the counselor can provide, then the counselor may refer the client.
Consider a referral as a final intervention after you have exhausted other interventions including consulting.

Ethical Issues in Training Therapists
Training programs have an ethical responsibility to:
Establish clear selection criteria
Provide exposure to major contemporary counseling theories
Teach students strengths and limitations of theories
Combine academic and personal learning
Screen candidates to protect public from incompetent practitioners
Teach a range of skills to work with diverse clients
Provide training in ethics.

Selection of Trainees
A core ethical and professional issue involves formulating policies and procedures for selecting appropriate candidates for a training program.
Screening as a two-way process
Faculty screen candidates
Candidates screen the program and faculty.

Working in a Digital Culture
Technology is evolving at breakneck speed and is expanding the ways counseling services can be conceptualized and delivered.
The need for training in transferring face-to-face skills to the online environment is essential.

Evaluating Knowledge, Skills, and Personal Functioning
Every training institution has an ethical responsibility to screen candidates so the public will be protected from incompetent practitioners.
Ongoing evaluation is crucial to determine whether you are making satisfactory progress in the various areas of the training program.

Evaluation of Interpersonal Behavior and Personal Characteristics
Evaluating trainees on the basis of personal characteristics is often a challenging task.
Interpersonal behaviors of trainees have a direct bearing on their clinical effectiveness, so these factors must be taken into consideration in the evaluation process.

Evaluating Character and Psychological Fitness of Trainees
Character:
The honesty and integrity with which a person deals with others
Psychological fitness:
The emotional or mental stability necessary to practice safely and effectively
Evidenced by the presence of personality adjustment, absence of psychological disorder, and appropriate use of substances.

Gatekeeper Role of Faculty in Promoting Competence (1 of 2)
The academic faculty in a professional program generally has a gatekeeper’s role, protecting consumers by identifying and intervening with graduate students who exhibit problematic behaviors.
The gatekeeper role is addressed in the ethics codes of most professional organizations.
Clinical training faculty also have a responsibility to protect other graduate students in their program from those trainees who are dealing with problems of professional competency.

Gatekeeper Role of Faculty in Promoting Competence (2 of 2)
Peers can play a role in helping to identify students who may be in need of remediation or dismissal.
Well-designed gatekeeping procedures appear to improve the effectiveness with which deficient students are identified and prevented from progressing unremediated into the counseling profession.

Dismissing Students for Nonacademic Reasons
Some students may not possess the emotional maturity or interpersonal skills necessary for clinical work, but they may have other skills that may be useful in the profession.
Board of Curators of the University of Missouri v. Horowitz

Professional Licensing and Certification (1 of 2)
Registry is generally a voluntary listing of individuals who use a title or provide a service.
Certification
Voluntary attempt by a group to promote professional identity
Attempts to verify qualifications
Sets minimum standards
Does not assure quality practice

Professional Licensing and Certification (2 of 2)
Licensure Statutes
Governs professional practice
Highlights uniqueness of an occupation
Restricts both use of title and practice of occupation
Credentialing protects counseling consumers by establishing the minimum standards of professional skills and knowledge.

Continuing Professional Education and Demonstration of Competence (1 of 2)
Professionals are required to engage in ongoing study, education, training, and consultation in their areas of practice.
Level of competence may diminish over time and changes in mental health laws, evolving ethical standards, and new trends in professional and evidence-based practices continue to be made.
The most common area of mandated continuing education is professional ethics.

Continuing Professional Education and Demonstration of Competence (2 of 2)
Combat knowledge obsolescence and maintain competence through:
Consulting with other professionals
Participate in peer consultation groups
Engage in self-directed learning
Attend professional conferences.

Review, Consultation, and Supervision by Peers
Peer review is an organized system by which practitioners within a profession assess one another’s services.
Peer supervision provides a path to continue the transition from trainee to independent practitioner.
