Introduction to Boundaries: Part A of Boundaries Series – In this introductory segment, Dr. Zur gives an overview of therapeutic boundaries and the many complexities contained therein. Therapists today must face situations ranging from a teenage client who texts during a session, to a home-bound client who must be seen at home or not at all, to clients who are unable to pay via conventional means or to whom money means nothing at all.
