Description

Description:

Boundary crossings can be extremely helpful, whereas boundary violations are usually harmful. Therapy is often shortchanged by the tendency to practice defensively. It is imperative not to exploit, disparage, abuse or harass a client. We also must appreciate the significance of confidentiality, integrity, respect and informed consent. All the rest of the ethical rules, codes and regulations are negotiable. Thus, non-sexual dual relationships often can enhance the process and outcome of psychotherapy.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To describe what comprises a good working alliance.
  2. To describe one way to build true flexibility into the therapeutic relationship. 

*Sessions may be edited for content and to preserve confidentiality*
