🔦 Workshop Spotlight | What Would You Do If You Got a Subpoena? | GAMFT 2026 Annual Conference | July 23rd @ 10am

In our litigious society, it is more common than ever for psychotherapists to be subpoenaed to testify in divorce, custody, and trauma cases.

We will discuss responding to a subpoena and encourage you to look at personal attitudes and biases you may have about the legal system. Calling your liability insurance attorney for advice is the best place to start.

There is an ethical conversation to be had regarding access to client records and requirements of confidentiality. Refer to the AAMFT, ACA, NASW, and APA Code of Ethics for more clarity. When organizing your records, do not decide what you can legally and ethically release without consulting an attorney.

You may need to defend your diagnostic codes and treatment plan during a trial. Prepare a list of your client’s characteristics that support your diagnosis.

Undoubtedly, cross-examination is the most stressful part of the courtroom experience. Defense attorneys often play strategic games with the facts that are designed to rattle you under cross-examination. Examples include leading questions, the cut-off, rapid fire, intentional ambiguity, and implying impropriety.

Join us at the GAMFT 2026 Annual Conference for timely conversations, practical clinical insights, and professional development designed to strengthen and support therapists in today’s evolving landscape.
