LCAS Questions
A young person meeting with you for the first time asks if treatment will be effective for
him or her. What should you say? - ✔️✔️Tell the person that treatment is not always
effective. It is unethical to present therapy as always effective for every individual. A
therapist should never misrepresent his or her ability or training, or the effectiveness of
therapy
Your patient is of a spiritual faith that is counter to your own. You should... -
✔️✔️Continue with treatment, being respectful of the patient's beliefs. A patient's belief
system should be respected, and a competent professional should be able to work with
a patient regardless of that belief system. If this is not possible, then the patient should
be referred to another practitioner.
While your patient is seeing you for a substance abuse problem, you begin to see
indications of bipolar disorder. What should you do? - ✔️✔️Refer to, or consult with, a
clinician trained in bipolar disorder. A therapist should never treat a patient for
something the therapist is not trained in. In this case, it would be best either to refer the
patient to another therapist, or enter into co-therapy with a therapist trained in bipolar
disorder.
.
Your patient does not seem to be meeting treatment goals after a substantial period of
time in therapy. What should you do? - ✔️✔️Terminate therapy and refer the patient to
another therapist. The therapist has an ethical responsibility to terminate therapy when
treatment is not effective. When terminating, the therapist should also take steps to refer
the patient to another clinician who might better be able to work with the patient.
You find that recording therapy sessions works well for you. In relation to this practice,
what should you do? - ✔️✔️Explain the purpose of the recording, and obtain the
patient's permission, The therapist should inform the patient of the recording, but also
gain permission to record. This is also the case when having students involved in
treatment or when any other observation by third parties is allowed.
