The boundaries of the therapeutic relationship are a crucial part of effective therapy. But understanding them, and the effects of power and responsibility, can be intimidating to trainee or newly-qualified therapists. This book will take step by step through everything they need to know to work ethically and safeguard the wellbeing of both themselves and their clients.

It tackles:

* Contracting and the importance of negotiating and clarifying boundaries with clients

* The implications and limits of maintaining confidentiality

* Keeping clear sexual boundaries, and how to work around issues safely and appropriately

* What happens when circumstances change, and everyday or serious disruptions occur to therapy

* The nature of the therapist's power, and how to employ it responsibly to a client's benefit

Packed with case studies, ethical dilemmas and points for reflection and discussion, this is an essential read for trainee practitioners and qualified therapists looking to ensure safe and ethical practice.

Industry Reviews

This book draws attention to complex areas in counselling and psychotherapy that are difficult to manage. In clear steps, Kirsten Amis guides us through the maze of ethics, boundaries and power. Her common-sense wisdom shines through the text in a way that will enhance the practice of any therapist that takes it to heart. This is a great book for students and practitioners alike. -- Professor Alistair Ross This book addresses issues that are critical for the development of sound and ethical counselling practice. It challenges the trainee counsellor to think through numerous scenarios that could occur in any practice. It is well organised in relevant chapters and would be a stimulating read for a voracious learner. -- Emeritus Professor Sue Wheeler
