  1. Exploring the edges: Boundaries and breaks.Rita Sommers-Flanagan, Deni Elliott & John Sommers-Flanagan - 1998 - Ethics and Behavior 8 (1):37 – 48.
    In this article, we examine conceptual and practical issues pertaining to relationship boundaries within the helping profession. Although our focus is primarily on relationships between mental health professionals and clients, there are considerable implications for a new approach to ethically structuring and understanding the construct of "required distance" in many human-interactive professions, such as teaching, religious leadership, public administration, and others. We define the concept of boundary as applied to human relationships, provide examples of boundary breaks, and raise questions regarding (...)

  • Believers and skeptics: Where social worker situate themselves regarding the code of ethics.Marshall Fine & Eli Teram - 2009 - Ethics and Behavior 19 (1):60 – 78.
    Based on individual and focus-group interviews, this article describes how social workers in a variety of settings and geographical areas within Ontario approached ethical issues in their daily practices. Two primary approaches to professional ethics emerge from the data: principle based and virtue based, reflecting the orientation of groups we label believers and skeptics, respectively. The code of ethics appears to be the fulcrum from which our participants swing. The believers show faith in the code of ethics and the skeptics (...)

  • An Ethic of Possibility: Relationship, Risk, and Presence.Pamela J. Birrell, D_auald A. Saucier & Mary E. Cain - 2006 - Ethics and Behavior 16 (2):95-115.
    What does it mean to be ethical in psychotherapy? Does adherence to ethical codes and rules make a psychotherapist ethical? This article examines standard ways of thinking about ethics in the field and argues that these ways are inadequate, creating a false dichotomy between the ethical and the clinical, and that they are designed only for formal and contractual relationships, in which psychotherapy is more often personal and affecting. The ethic of care and the approach to ethics of Emmanuel Levinas (...)

  • A re-visioning of boundaries in professional helping relationships: Exploring other metaphors.Wendy Austin, Vangie Bergum, Simon Nuttgens & Cindy Peternelj-Taylor - 2006 - Ethics and Behavior 16 (2):77 – 94.
    There are many ethical issues arising for practitioners in what are termed the boundaries of professional helping relationships. In this article, the authors argue that the boundary metaphor is not sufficient for conceptualizing these ethical issues and propose that alternative metaphors be considered. The use of a different metaphor might allow practitioners to re-vision the relationship issues in a more realistic, richer, and holistic way. Those explored here include highway, bridge, and territory. For the authors, it is territory that seems (...)
