“…Among these three, the most likely is the first explanation. A connection between the increase in occurrences of misconduct and a lack of supervision and consultation is consistent with emerging research regarding marriage and family therapists (Coy et al, 2016;McLaurin et al, 2004). This explanation is also more compelling given the distribution of findings of professional misconduct in significant numbers across all stages of professional practice.…”

“…Despite this lack of data, there are two relevant studies that contained investigations into professional misconduct committed by licensed marriage and family therapists. The authors of one study of self-reported professional and personal behaviors of marriage and family therapists reported a direct relationship between the risk of potential misconduct and years of clinical experience (McLaurin et al, 2004). The authors of a second study surveyed MFT perceptions relating to the integrity and academic honesty underlying published marriage and family therapy research (Brock et al, 2009).…”

“…The authors of a second study surveyed MFT perceptions relating to the integrity and academic honesty underlying published marriage and family therapy research (Brock et al, 2009). While McLaurin et al (2004) collected data regarding the gender demographics of respondents to their study, neither study applied gender as a research variable.…”

This study was designed as an investigation of psychotherapist variables that correlate with the contents of findings of misconduct. While there is a scarcity of current research regarding clinician characteristics that correlate with professional misconduct, many assumptions and untested hypotheses appear. In particular, gender is often identified as a critical component of professional misconduct. Despite these common assertions, virtually no published research exists regarding correlations between gender and marriage and family therapist (MFT) professional misconduct. This study employed a retrospective cross-sectional study to analyze a randomized convenience sample of the records of final determinations of psychotherapist disciplinary actions across eight states. Four predictor variables (gender, years of experience, geographical region, and type of license) were correlated with five criterion variables consisting of word counts for five linguistic categories (family, substance, finance, sex, friend, and recordkeeping words). Frequency rates of the criterion variables were calculated. Relationships between all variables were evaluated through a multiple linear regression analysis. The data show a wide variation of prevalence rates across the predictor variables. Five of the multiple regression analyses produced statistically significant results. Gender was related to both family and substance use related words, while years of practice was related to family, finance, sex, friend, and recordkeeping words. No relationship was found between recordkeeping words and any of the predictor variables. Similarly, no relationship was found between any of the criterion variables and geographic region or license type.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to bring greater clarity to the ethicality of therapist-client multiple relationships and the implications of these relationships on the therapeutic process. A phenomenological methodology guided the study and was used to structure co-research interviews between marriage and family therapy trainees from a COAMFTE program and their clients (N = 12). Interviews were centered on Subprinciple 1.3 (multiple relationships) of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Code of Ethics.Three themes related to the establishment of multiple relationships emerged from the data: (1) Situational, (2) Impact on Therapy, and (3) Open Sharing. The limitations of the study and the implications of the findings are presented.
