Law and Ethics: They Did What?! A Case Study Review of Disciplinary Actions
"This course was excellent. A fantastic refresher after being out of the field for a number of years. Very thorough but also kept me engaged. I appreciated having multiple therapists discussing the issues with each other in the audio as this felt like I was taking an in person workshop or course. I will definitely use TDC for future courses!”
