Differences between personal and professional relationships
Small group brainstorm exercise. Allows participants to begin thinking about some of the key features that distinguish relationships with their clients from non-professional relationships.
Professional Boundaries, Boundary Crossings and Boundary Violations
Information giving session focusing on what boundaries are and why they are important. Looking at different ways in which boundaries crossings can be initiated, examples of ways in which crossings can occur together with ways of dealing with these situations. An examination into how crossings can escalate to become violations if they are not properly addressed. Definition of professional abuse; some of the common indicators of professional abuse; aspects of ‘helping relationships’ that affect abuse; common characteristics of professional abuse.
Spectrum of Boundary Crossings and Violations
Exercise examining the grey areas of boundary crossings.
Participants work in small groups with a variety of vignettes concerning scenarios that may constitute appropriate professional behaviour, boundary crossings or boundary violations. Groups discuss where each vignette should be placed on the spectrum of behaviour.
Boundary dilemmas
Participants examine case studies in small groups to highlight boundary concerns and suggest ways in which practitioners might address them so that they do not become violations in the future.
The slippery slope
Exercise looking at how the theoretical slippery slope model of boundary crossings might operate in practice.
