It will then explore the importance and/or necessity of meeting clients, such as children or homeless, where they are rather than in our professional offices. Additional "out-of-office" experiences that will be discussed include clinical interventions not possible in the office (e.g., in vivo desensitization), celebrations of clients' accomplishments, rituals and life transitions, and incidental encounters. Ethical decision-making, codes of ethics, and the importance of context of therapy will be discussed and it application to clinicians work will be reviewed.
