Using the Language of the Law to ‘Salt & Pepper’ Your Treatment Records

presented 

by

David Jenson, JD, CAMFT Attorney

(6 CEU Hours)



Dave Jensen will review the four fundamentals of the psychotherapy profession. In addition, many clinicians struggle with the content of their treatment records. They wonder “Should I write a lot?  Should I write a little?  What really needs to be in my records?”  In this six-hour course, CAMFT Staff Attorney, Dave Jensen, JD, will review fundamental aspects of recordkeeping. 

Learning Objectives

  1. Explain the “building blocks” of the BBS’s law regarding recordkeeping.
  2. Identify mistakes made by colleagues in the area of recordkeeping.
  3. State the core subject areas of a treatment record.
  4. Compare/contrast recordkeeping requirements of the public and private mental health systems. 
  5. Identify key legal terms that should “salt and pepper” your records, treatment or otherwise.
  6. Describe the “D-A-V-E Way” of keeping records.
