Abstract

Enlisted behavioral health technicians (BHTs) in the military provide behavioral health care to service members worldwide under the supervision of licensed providers. Given their paraprofessional role, BHTs serve in close social and personal proximity to their patient population and may be at risk for engaging in multiple relationships. In order to guide supervision of BHTs, a framework should be leveraged that examines power differentials, the duration of treatment, the nature of termination, the compatibility of multiple roles, supervisor consultation, and informed consent. Several illustrative scenarios are provided to demonstrate the utilization of this model in a manner that is sensitive to the unique nature of BHTs serving in the military cultural setting.
