Continued from: Setting Up A Private Practice: Room Arrangement

There are many issues that a clinician in a private practice would need to deal with in order to meet the needs of his/her patients, respect their privacy, maximize their benefit, and protect their confidentiality, besides doing his/her best in the therapy. There are many details that need to be taken care of in order to follow the ethical principles, but with an appropriate amount of planning most of the details can be taken care of well.
