At Personal Risk

This book proffers a lot to contemplate as a future professional, specific to those who are teachers, lawyers, therapists, clerics (a little dated - the book was written in 1992), and those in the field of medicine. There are quite a few quotes and scenarios from people who have experienced or been responsible for boundary violations. This was required reading for my marriage and family therapy ethics class, and I do believe I will be keeping this book as a reference. It is important that professionals do not take advantage of any existing power differentials and realize their purpose is to serve the needs of their clients and not their own. As a future marriage and family therapist, this is something to remember and remind myself of often. I can see myself rereading this book in the future as a reminder. Not the most stimulating read but worth reading nonetheless.
