This first-of-a-kind analysis focuses exclusively on unavoidable and mandated multiple relationships between clients and psychotherapists. It delves into the ethics of a range of venues and situations where dual relationships are mandated, such as in the military, prisons/jails, and police departments. The book further covers settings where multiple relationships are unavoidable, including rural communities; graduate schools and training institutions; faith, spiritual, recovery or 12-step, minority and disabled communities, total institutions, and sport psychology. The complexities of social network ethics and digital dual relationships, such as clients becoming “friends” or “fans” on their therapists’ social media pages, are thoroughly discussed. Additionally, it addresses the complexities of multiple roles that inevitably emerge in supervisory relationships.
