Clinical competency

Assessment of indications and contraindications

Understand

What this competency means

The therapist must exercise clinical judgment about who may benefit, who may have difficulty surrendering defenses, and where evidence is limited. The handbook emphasizes uncertainty, need for research, and cautious selection based on insecurity, rigidity, suspicion, diagnosis, and treatment goals.

This page is a Blossom synthesis of professional and study materials. It supports orientation and comparison; it does not replace local protocols, supervision, professional scope, or clinical judgment.
