Consideration of Boundary Dilemmas in Therapy
Consideration of Boundary Dilemmas in Therapy
Dr. Ira Poll
COURSE DESCRIPTION: We will discuss the complexity of boundary issues and the clinical dilemmas they present. A variety of situations will be explored, such as self-disclosure, handling session endings, contact between sessions, and other issues. For each dilemma, we will examine how the analyst’s decision regarding the boundary either opens up or forecloses on relational possibilities in the therapy.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this course student should be able to
- Identify the relational tradeoffs between making a self-disclosure or foregoing one.
- Assess the boundary concerns related to phone contact between sessions.
- Critique the issue of special provisions at sessions’ end.
