Boundaries: Boundaries in therapy refer to ethical guidelines that define appropriate behavior between therapists and clients. These help maintain professionalism and protect both parties' interests.
Dual Relationships: Dual relationships occur when a therapist has multiple roles with their client outside of therapy, such as being their neighbor or family friend. These relationships can create conflicts of interest.
Ethical Codes: Ethical codes are guidelines established by professional organizations that outline appropriate conduct for psychologists. These codes provide standards for ethical decision-making in therapeutic practices.
