Introduction
The therapeutic relationship is critical to successful treatment.
However, when the nature of this relationship harms clients, the therapist is held
accountable for violating therapeutic boundaries.
In this program, Dr. Knapp will describe the ways therapists can and
have violated relationship boundaries with their current and past clients. He will address
both sexual and non-sexual boundary violations. In addition, he will discuss boundary
issues involving supervises, students, relatives, friends, and acquaintances.
Dr. Knapp will also review the roles of various regulatory mechanisms governing the
practice of psychology in Pennsylvania. Most important, therapists will learn techniques
and procedures that will reduce the risk of legal liability while providing ethical and
high quality care.
Program Objectives
Participants will be better able to:
| understand the legal and ethical principles underlying professional boundaries; |
