EFT Practitioner Ethics and Professional Practice 3

Question 1

A former client contacts the practitioner six months after sessions ended, expressing romantic interest. What is the most ethical response?

Accepted Answer

Decline, as post-termination romantic relationships are ethically problematic due to the power dynamic

Answer

The power differential created in a therapeutic relationship persists beyond termination, making romantic relationships ethically inappropriate.

Question 2

What does 'scope of practice' mean for an EFT practitioner?

Accepted Answer

The boundaries of what a practitioner is trained and qualified to do

Answer

Scope of practice defines the boundaries of professional activity based on education, training, and certification.

Question 3

Answer

Writing documentation with false or misleading clinical claims constitutes fraud and violates professional ethics standards.
