Assignment

Boundary crossings are major issues in many settings in which psychologists practice. Your text provides a number of examples. For this task, you will need to develop your own scenario of a potential boundary crossing in any setting in which psychologists practice.

Provide a brief overview and explanation of why you think a professional boundary has been crossed and how the crossing could have been avoided. Be sure you provide sufficient background information so that the potential boundary crossing is clear.
