| Popis: | This study surveyed survivor and nonsurvivor therapists regarding their use of boundaries in groups with survivors of childhood sexual abuse. No differences were detected between the two groups when all types of boundaries were considered. Using boundary subscales, significant differences for therapist neutrality in their groups was observed, suggesting that nonsurvivor therapists are more neutral than survivor therapists when leading survivor groups. These results are discussed in terms of the need for future process and qualitative studies that provide information about what constitutes “normal” boundaries in the therapeutic setting, reasons for crossing boundaries, and how crossings impact the therapeutic alliance. |
