Preview Boundaries in Psychotherapy: Ethical and Clinical Explorations

Description:
A client wishes to pay for therapy services by bartering his original artw ork. A therapist accepts a client's hug but later worries whether doingso may have sent the wrong message. A client asks the therapist to become friends after therapy ends. A prospective client requests therapy from a clinician who is also her neighbor. A client inquires about the therapist spiritu al orientation. What is the best course of action in these situations? Zur's latest book is for the professional who feels unsure entering those g ray areas that inevitably arise in psychotherapy practice. It gives careful consideration to what constitutes a boundary violation, and explores the ethical and clinical complexities involved in boundary issues such as exchange of gifts, non-sexual touch, therapist's self-disclosure, dual relationships, bartering, home visits, home office practice, and telehealth. This book does not offer simple answers, but rather examines the nature of boundaries in psychotherapy and helps view boundaries through ethical and clinical lenses.
