Understanding the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship is crucial for effective therapy. However, navigating the complexities of power and responsibility can be daunting for trainee or newly-qualified therapists. This book provides a step-by-step guide to working ethically and safeguarding the well-being of both therapists and clients.
It explores key areas such as contracting and negotiating boundaries with clients, maintaining confidentiality, and managing sexual boundaries. The book also addresses the impact of changing circumstances on therapy and the importance of employing power responsibly to benefit clients. With case studies, ethical dilemmas, and points for reflection, this book is an invaluable resource for trainee practitioners and qualified therapists seeking to ensure safe and ethical practice.
