Therapeutic boundaries are the rules of the professional relationship.  The purpose of these rules is to provide structure and safety in order to prevent harm to clients.  However, not every boundary crossing is a problem, and some boundary crossings may even be helpful.  This workshop will provide the opportunity to discuss ethical dilemmas related to accepting gifts, therapeutic touch, non-traditional settings for therapy, and non-sexual relationships after termination.  The importance of consultation will also be emphasized.  Participants are invited to discuss ethical dilemmas from their own practices.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will be able to articulate the difference between boundary crossings and boundary violations.

2. Participants will be able to list and describe 3 ethical and risk management issues with subtle boundary crossings.

3. Participants will be able to make appropriate responses to 3 serious challenges to therapeutic boundaries.

This event is targeted towards:
1. Mid Career PhD Professionals
2. Early Career PhD Professionals
3. Recent Graduates

4. Graduate Students
