It may be used to fulfill a portion of the requirements for becoming a CAMFT Certified Supervisor, if that is your intent. The workshop satisfies the six-hour continuing education requirement for supervisors of marriage and family therapist trainees and interns . For individuals who plan to supervise associate clinical social workers, the workshop would satisfy six of the fifteen required hours of continuing education in supervision .  \nThe workshop will review the requirements for licensure as a marriage and family therapist, clinical social worker, professional clinical counselor, or psychologist in California along with legal and ethical standards for supervisors of aspiring licensees in each of these professions . The workshop will also review key legal and ethical issues that are applicable to psychotherapists in general, including: Scope of competency /scope of practice; standards of care; confidentiality/exceptions to confidentiality; confidentiality involving minors, couples and families; psychotherapistpatient privilege; documentation/record keeping, access to records, advertising/required disclosures, conflicts of interest, and related topics . We will also discuss the topic of employing interns, issues involving fees and insurance, supervisor/supervisee boundaries and recommendations for avoiding problems related to the actions of a supervisee .  \nIn order to cover such a wide-range of issues, it will be necessary to review a large number of legal and ethical standards . Whenever possible, examples of treatment scenarios, and/or complaints to licensing boards and ethics committees will be used to illustrate the standards being discussed.  \nTHE “LICENSING LAWS” are comprised of statutes and regulations .  \nThe laws that are specifically intended to govern the conduct of health care professionals in every state are known as the “licensing laws .” All California statutes can be found at: [http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml](http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml)[ ](http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml)California laws which are applicable to marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, and professional clinical counselors are accessible via the  \n1 The workshop does not provide a discussion of every section of law or regulation that may be applicable  \nto supervision.
