We therapists may like to think that as good-hearted, upright, and caring people, we don’t really need formal codes of ethics. However, as the seductive informality of our times has transformed even our most basic ideas of when our “office” hours end and where therapy takes place, the standards of care for our profession have become increasingly fuzzy.
