Boundary Issues in Counseling: Multiple Roles and Responsibilities, Third Edition

Dual or multiple relationships between counselors and their
clients are among the most controversial issues in the counseling
profession. Extensive debate among professionals has led to a
current stance that is more flexible and culturally sensitive than
ever before; however, many questions and concerns remain.
This highly regarded book is essential reading for counselors
struggling to find a clear personal position on the myriad issues
that can arise with multiple relationships. It is also an ideal
supplemental text for courses in ethics and professional issues, as
well as for practicum and internship seminars to train the next generation of counselors.

Fully revised in accordance with the 2014 ACA Code of Ethics and the current ethical codes
of AAMFT, ACES, APA, ASCA, ASGW, CRCC, IAMFT, NASW, and other professional organizations,
Boundary Issues in Counseling reflects the helping profession's most up-to-date thinking on
this topic and offers a wide range of opinions and perspectives. Ethics experts Barbara Herlihy
and Gerald Corey, along with 40 guest contributors, share their thoughts on a variety of
potential boundary concerns and violations, including the ethical issues surrounding sexual
dual relationships; multiculturalism and social justice; counselor education, supervision,
and consultation; group counseling; couples and family counseling; and school counseling.
This invaluable resource also covers specialty areas, such as disaster mental health, private
practice, addictions counseling, rehabilitation counseling, rural practice, counseling in the
military, and forensic counseling.
