The authors investigate the meaning and purpose of boundaries
within and around the therapeutic experience. The term boundary is
borrowed from geography; as in geography, boundaries can function
as barriers or delineators. They can "keep in" or "keep out"; they
can hinder or enable safe passage from one place to another. A
boundary is more than a simple line delineating one space from
another; it is an entity with properties that demand a response if
they are to be negotiated. Boundaries circumscribe a space that can
be viewed objectively, or experienced subjectively, as a container.
For the uninitiated, this therapeutic container can be difficult to
penetrate. Even health professionals such as GPs and psychiatrists
often do not know how to access psychotherapy organizations and
their referral networks. Also, real constraints on the availability
of counseling and psychotherapy within the National Health Service,
and the cost of private sector services, may prohibit access to the
help being sought. The book explores aspects such as the gradual
evolution of therapeutic boundaries in psychodynamic work, boundary
development in infancy and childhood, the role of the therapist's
mind and the therapeutic setting, confidentiality and issues such
as money and time.
