Standard of termination and continuity of care

Psychologists should:


 * Make clear at the first contact, or at the earliest opportunity, the conditions under which the professional services may be terminated.


 * Take advice where there appears to be ambiguity about continuing with professional services.


 * Terminate professional services when clients do not appear to be deriving benefit and arc unlikely to do so.


 * Refer clients to alternative sources of assistance as appropriate, facilitating the transfer and continuity of care through reasonable collaboration with other professionals.
