GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is an advanced course about the complexities of boundary crossing and non-sexual and non-exploitative dual relationships in psychotherapy. It uses the "cutting edge" book Dual Relationships and Psychotherapy by A. A. Lazarus, Ph.D., ABPP and O. Zur, Ph.D. (Eds.) published in 2002. It also includes an Addendum, which covers California laws that pertain to dual relationships. Boundary violations and boundary crossing in psychotherapy refer to any deviation from traditional, strict, "only in the office," emotionally distant forms of (usually analytic) therapy. Boundary issues mostly refer to issues of self-disclosure, length and site of sessions, physical touch, jointly engaging in activities outside the office, gift exchange, and various forms of dual relationships. Dual relationship refers to any situation where multiple roles exist between a therapist and a client. Besides sex with a client, other examples of dual relationships are engaging in therapy with a friend, a student, a colleague or a business associate. Additional forms of dual relationships might be such shared activities as attending the same church, belonging to the same social club or recreational sports league, attending the same conferences or political rallies. The course will guide therapists through the complexities of dual relationships and boundary crossings in therapy. The entire course material is included in the enclosed book. It will outline how dual relationships and boundary crossing relate to issues, such as exploitation, power, sexual relationships, familiarity, transference and counter-transference, community relationships, effective therapy, treatment plans, etc.
