Statement of Ethics and Conduct for Practitioners

I will conduct my practice in accordance with the principles of Therapeutic Touch as developed by Dolores Krieger and Dora Kunz, and the guidelines of the Atlantic Therapeutic Touch Network.

In advance of the session, I will make clear to the recipient any fees which I charge for my service.

I will ensure that all interpersonal transactions between myself and the client are non-exploitive and essential to their care.  I will refrain from selling any product or service to the client.

I acknowledge that Therapeutic Touch may increase the rapport between the recipient and myself.  All information will be kept by me in strict confidence.  Unless s/he is directly involved in the Therapeutic Touch session, I will refrain from having another person with me during the session (unless the client wishes a relative or friend present).

I will not attempt to use Therapeutic Touch as a basis for Spiritual, Psychotherapy, or other counseling, unless I have training and qualifications to do so, as well as permission from the client.

I will focus on the needs of the client and will refrain from discussing my problems and personal issues.

I will regularly evaluate my own strengths, limitations, and levels of effectiveness, always striving to enhance my abilities by means of further education and training.

In any Therapeutic Touch session I will maintain the highest integrity, keeping the interest of the client foremost and conducting all sessions in a manner worthy of the reputation held by Therapeutic Touch Practitioners throughout the world.

I will not hold the Atlantic Therapeutic Touch Network responsible for any consequences resulting from my practicing of Therapeutic Touch.  The network has the right to withdraw my name from the list of Registered Practitioners.
