Document Summary
Regulated health professions act (rhpa) for health professionals in ontario. Psychotherapy is not the same as a paid friendship. No relationships are allowed because of the implicit and explicit power difference between a health professional and patient. Really important to follow the set rules and not to violate any boundaries. No relationships for a minimum of 2 years after the service has ended. Note: although an therapist is an ideal listener, you don"t know anything about them. Note: anyone could have claimed to be a therapist because but now there is a college set up. Focus is on the present behaviours and thoughts, exploring childhood memories is almost never a goal. Exception would be to expose a fear memory in ptsd. Try to learn new skills, face fears, change thoughts, and practice new behaiours everyday. Dr. maurice bucked founding medical director both asylum for the insane in hamilton and london.
