(Course Descriptions: This course mainly focuses on the area of ethics regarding boundary issues concerning both physical contact and power dynamics between the therapist and the client. It draws attention to, for example, the Special Status Role that the client can give to the therapist and specific self-awareness content a therapist could use in his or her next session.)
