Exploring the Essential Features of “The Ethical Dilemmas No One Talks About: Clarifying Boundaries – Mary Jo Barrett, Linda Stone Fish”

The ethical rules for therapists used to be straightforward and unambiguous: no gifts, no dual relationships, and no out-of-session contact. But the ease of digital connection and the shift in our profession’s norms have introduced new questions about professional boundaries.

• How exactly do we manage relationships through email, texting, and social media?
• Should we Google clients before our first session?
• If I live in a small town, how can I avoid dual-relationships?
• Where is the line drawn for interactions outside of the office?

Watch Mary Jo Barrett and Linda Stone Fish and you will discover how to establish boundaries with your clients and avoid compassion fatigue. One of the most difficult aspects of being a therapist is not over-expending yourself, but still be an effective resource for your client. Mary Jo Barrett and Linda Stone Fish’s witty and humorous personalities will shine as they guide you through real-life examples and today’s techniques on how to create ethical attunement within your therapeutic encounters.
