Featured Reviews

The material is clear, informative and interestingly written. It took a subject that many of us have heard and/or read many times yet it,cleared out the cob webs and brought the subject clearly back to the forefront--in a crystal clear manner.

- Bruce A. Lederer, LMT, NCTMB

Very good material that covers all grounds on the subject. Excellent examples that explained ethical and unethical situations in detail of profession relations between therapist and client.

- Cynthia Meldrim, LMT

Glad to see information on dual relationships was included. The previous advice of "no dual relationships" doesn't work in a small town where everybody knows everybody.

- Lynn Wehlau, CMT, NCBTMB

I liked very much the way this course is presented; the material is clear and to the point, making the explanations easy to understand and apply in our practices. Thanks for providing this course int hsi format...Very convenient...At home...Non expensive and done with ease.

- Ivelisse Perez, LMP, NCBTMB

I enjoyed this course very much. Although I know and recognize what ethics and professionalism are in the massage practice, I enjoyed the refresher. I found it very interesting and applicable, since lines can so easily be blurred in this profession. thank you very much!

- Danielle DiLaura LMT

Very nice course. Taking this course did enlighten me in a few new ways, thereby being a very worthwhile learning experience. The wording was a bit tricky on 1 or 2 of the questions. However, it really made me reread & think my answer through. I enjoyed this online course & I will continue to take online education with The Institute for Intgrative Healthcare Studies!

The discussion of dual relationships in this course was thoughtful and applicable to modern life -- especially for those of us in small communities where everyone knows everyone on many different levels and dual relationships are an unavoidable way of life. The discussion of conflicts of interest was also especially thoughtful.

Material was presented clearly and kept your attention. Important information for therapist.

I was relieved to see that dual relationships are not necessarily considered unprofessional. I live in a small town and cannot help but have these kinds of relationships in my practice.
