All clinicians are required to adhere to the code of ethics and standards of practice put forth by the Dubai Health Authority and Community Development Authority. This code precludes dual relationships (any relationship other than that of a client and therapist) in order to protect the rights of clients and maintain the objectivity and professional judgment of the service provider. In the event that a relationship outside the therapeutic relationship is unavoidable, the service provider will discuss and resolve the situation professionally with the client and in a manner most suitable to the client’s needs.
