	Description:	As bookkeeping requirements for payment increases and as the current reimbursement system becomes ever more parsimonious, sometimes unfair, and frequently cold-hearted, ethical behavior becomes more complicated. Dueling interests can put our principles to the test, especially when it is so easy to rationalize business judgments that compromise moral standards. Our ethical positions may have financial costs to us, and we must be willing to incur them. Kathleen Murphy, Ph.D., Social Work, "Ethical/Clinical Decisions" presents the principles of ethical decisions. It is important to have these concepts in mind. Otherwise, we are just memorizing a cookbook of instructions. And, Robert Galatzer-Levy, MD. "The Meaning of Money" addresses talking about money with our clients is difficult and often avoided. This can lead to misdiagnosis, premature termination, unresolved transference and counter transference, inconsistencies in payment practices, and undue anxiety. In this interview, Dr. Galatzer-Levy discusses the psychological meaning of money in the therapeutic relationship.
