“…Additionally, Principle B encourages psychologists to “strive to contribute a portion of their professional time for little or no compensation or personal advantage” (APA, 2017, p. 3). In an effort to provide services to individuals who are not able to afford them, psychologists may offer pro bono services or sliding fee scales (Treloar, 2010). Clients who are not able to afford stable housing understandably may find it extremely difficult or impossible to afford mental health treatment, especially if they have lost employment and insurance coverage with it.…”

“…In her 2010 article, Treloar provides a thoughtful discussion of financial and ethical considerations for professionals in psychology. She remarks that while it is psychologists’ responsibility to treat individuals who do not have the means to access quality care, such as those experiencing homelessness, it may be impossible for psychologists to do so if they are trying to make financial ends meet themselves (Treloar, 2010). In order to address this issue, clinics may offer a sliding fee scale based on income or may encourage doctoral student clinicians to take on more of these cases as they typically charge smaller or no fees.…”

The economic crisis that has resulted as an effect of the COVID-19 global pandemic poses an increased threat to housing stability for many individuals living in the United States. Due to loss of employment or reduced work hours, more individuals may be experiencing financial hardship. It is well-established in the literature that sudden financial hardship increases the risk of eviction, which subsequently may lead to an increase in the number of individuals transitioning to homelessness. As such, psychotherapists must be prepared to treat a potentially increased number of clients who are experiencing transitional homelessness. The field of psychology is already well-aware of the ethical implications associated with providing psychological treatment for people with low-income and economic marginalization; however, the existing literature lacks a detailed examination of specific treatment and ethical considerations for providing services to clients experiencing transitional homelessness. The current article reviews the relevant literature and proposes practical considerations for therapists who are treating, or plan to treat, clients experiencing transitional homelessness, including a detailed discussion on how psychotherapists can apply the American Psychological Association Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct specifically to their work with this population of clients. The article concludes with a list of recommendations to promote professionally competent treatment. Clinical Impact StatementAs a consequence of economic decline following the COVID-19 pandemic, psychologists may begin working with an increased number of clients who are experiencing transitional homelessness. This article outlines treatment and ethical considerations for psychologists who are providing or plan to provide psychotherapy services to this specific population of clients, with consideration given to how the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act may influence rates of homelessness in the United States.

“…Once the therapist and patient have agreed upon the fee arrangement, altering it may have negative consequences. In these troubled economic times, it is not unusual for patients to have difficulty meeting financial obligations, and they may legitimately be unable to honor the fee commitment they originally made (Rhoden, 2010;Treloar, 2010). While the therapist may believe the patient's request is legitimate, the therapist must be aware that agreeing to a reduction in fee is fraught with potential complications.…”

In this paper 12 common errors that occur in the course of psychodynamic psychotherapy are reviewed. Rationales for why we consider these to be errors are described, and vignettes are used to illustrate the errors, lastly, recommendations for alternate approaches consistent with effective psychodynamic psychotherapy are presented. The errors reviewed include concerns regarding the maintenance of appropriate limits and boundaries; decisions regarding the focus and form of treatment; no-suicide contracts; fee arrangements; missed sessions; psychological testing of psychotherapy patients; selecting appropriate patients for psychotherapy; and the importance of personal psychotherapy for the therapist. The suggestions provided are consistent with what we believe are the goals of psychodynamic psychotherapy: autonomy, insight, and self-determination.
