Ethics

I don't really have room for everything I found out about the ethics. I do summarize it all at http://mentalhealth.miningco.com/library/blyet.htm and other places. Some important issues:

o No ethical guidelines are in place from the major associations.

o It is unclear where the interaction occurs.

o States are writing conflicting laws.

o Liability insurance companies don't know what to do.

o Current bandwidth allows no non-verbals. This degrades the communication.

o All ethical guidelines still apply (esp. APA for psychologists) because a professional relationship has been established.

There are more unanswered questions than answered ones. My personal stance has been to be very limited in what I offer.
