Which of the following represents what has come to be common knowledge with regard to law and ethics in the field of psychotherapy?
  1. If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen
  2. Documentation may prevent something from happening
  3. Documentation could make something needed happen
  4. Create the best story to cover your legal bases
Explanation
Answer - A - Legal experts across the field agree that “if it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen.” It is considered unethical to create other stories in order to cover legal bases. Documentation has very little to do with the potential outcome of any particular situation. Even when a document is challenged, its existence is the first step to establishing cause or practice.
