Webinar Outline:
Boundary crossing in therapeutic practice can be defined as “a deviation from classical therapeutic activity that is harmless, non-exploitative, and possibly supportive of the therapy itself.”
A boundary violation is harmful or potentially harmful, to the client as well as the therapeutic process and is often seen as anything that deviates from our traditional practice. Boundary crossing often refers primarily to issues of self-disclosure, gifts, touch, bartering, dual relationships, and home visits.
In this webinar we will discuss the difference between boundary crossing and boundary violation, we will look at harmful boundary violations like inappropriate touch and sexual misconduct. We will also discuss harmful boundary crossings like unhealthy dual relationships, money bartering and accepting gifts.
Healthy boundary crossing will also be discussed as a way to improve the standard of our care.
