the Code of Ethics for Physical Therapists (APTA, 2020a), APTA Guide for Professional Conduct (2019a), APTA Standards of Ethical Conduct for the Physical Therapist Assistant (2020b), and the APTA Guide for Conduct of the Physical Therapist Assistant (2019c).
INTRODUCTION
Therapists are entrusted with the patient’s physical and mental well-being during the rehabilitation process; with this trust comes a great responsibility. Not only do patients physically rely upon physical therapists to provide safe, appropriate, and effective treatment techniques, but they often also rely emotionally upon physical therapists during treatment. Because
most therapists are able to spend quality time with patients, they are able to individualize treatment content and goal setting. However, this may occasionally give rise to conflict as the well- meaning therapist tries to please the patient at the same time that they try to “do the right thing” professionally.
