Description

Session 1:

  • Boundaries and Ethics in Working with Difficult Clients
  • Discussion of how Dr. Melfi handles the challenge of maintaining boundaries when working with a client who’s at once charming, threatening, and searching for healing
  • Discussion of why and how the first session of therapy sets the tone for what can and can’t be discussed for the rest of the therapy

Session 2:

  • Handling Critical Incidents with Self-Care and Responsibility to the Client
  • Discussion of how a client’s crisis affects the therapist sense of safety, making traditional ethical guidelines difficult to manage
  • Exploration of what happens when therapists working with individual clients turn to helping with a marriage

Session 3:

  • Handling Crises in the Clinical Relationship
  • Discussion of how problems in clinical relationships can mirror problems in supervisory relationships
  • Review of how unaddressed self-of-the-therapist issues can undermine therapy and lead to poor termination of treatment

Objectives:

  1. Identify threats to good boundaries in clinical relationships
  2. Discuss self-of-the-therapist issues with highly challenging clients
  3. Describe the limits of values neutrality in working with clients who are harming others
