Abstract
I have qualifications in both psychology and naturopathy and believe my clients would benefit from receiving both services. Can I use both skill sets with my clients?
Psychologists may be qualified as members of two or more professions. The APS Guidelines for managing professional boundaries and multiple relationships (2008) state that “psychologists can be qualified as members of two or more professions (for example, psychology and law). If a psychologist attempts to work in both roles with the same client there is a strong risk of role confusion for both client and psychologist. Consequently such situations should be avoided.”
If psychologists choose to provide two distinct professional services it is advisable that they run two distinct practices servicing different clientele and ideally from different locations.
