Document Summary

Boundary crossing - a departure from commonly accepted practices that could potentially benefit clients. All boundary crossings should be considered boundary violations. One common type of boundary crossing is therapist self-disclosure. Boundary violation - a serious breach that results in harm to clients and is therefore unethical. Failing to practice in accordance with prevailing community standards, as well as other variables such as the role of the client"s diagnosis history, values, and culture, can result in a well-intentioned action being perceived as boundary violation. F. ex. , counselor educators serve as instructors, but they sometimes act as therapeutic agents for their students" personal development. Role blending is not necessarily unethical, but it does call for vigilance on the part of the professional to ensure that exploitation occur. Whenever a potential for negative outcomes exists, professionals have a responsibility to design safeguards to reduce the potential for harm.
