Unit 4 Discussion

 

Your post should be at least 350 words in length It  is not difficult to imagine that intimate relationships with clients  can have a detrimental impact both on the helping relationship and on  the client. In this Discussion, you will take the opportunity to analyze  the impact of such relationships and their effects on all parties  involved, including the human services practitioner. Use the Readings,  Internet, and Library to research the potential emotional,  psychological, and social impacts on the client in an intimate  relationship with a human service professional.

Please respond to the following:

• Create  a scenario, analyze it, and then discuss the likely and potential  impacts of intimate relationships on the client and the human service  professional.
• Research  similar scenarios in the state in which you live and discuss how such a  situation might be handled if it occurred in your state.
• Discuss risk management practices you may use to avoid such relationships in your own practice.
