Some might say that the best defense against a malpractice lawsuit is:
  1. Meticulous record-keeping
  2. An attorney who specializes in psychotherapy
  3. Never taking too many therapeutic risks
  4. Recording every session
Explanation
Answer - A - Meticulous record keeping is the best defense against any malpractice lawsuit that could arise. While all the others may protect you, they are severely limiting in your ability to do any meaningful work and will have you watching over your shoulder every session. Instead, documenting provides a concrete record of time, place, and service rendered and can serve to display proper ethical care.
