This book was released on 2015 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The therapeutic nurse-patient relationship is essential to psychiatric mental health nursing practice. Psychiatric mental health nurses must develop and maintain a positive therapeutic relationship with patients while upholding professional boundaries. The definition of professional boundaries is elusive and leaves much room for interpretation. Lack of a clear definition can impair nurses' knowledge and understanding of professional boundaries, which can lead to potential boundary violations. Currently literature does not represent the subjective definitions individual psychiatric mental health nurses have regarding professional boundaries. The purpose of this study was to explore the definitions of professional boundaries from the perspectives of psychiatric mental health nurses. All participants had a current registered nursing license, were currently employed at the sample hospital, and provided informed consent for participation. To address this purpose, answers to the following research questions were sought: 1) How do psychiatric mental health nurses define professional boundaries, 2) How does the psychiatric mental health nurse's definition of professional boundaries affect her or his practice, and 3) What challenges do psychiatric mental health nurses face in maintaining professional boundaries. To answer the research questions, a sample of seven psychiatric mental health nurses who practice at a hospital in Montana were interviewed using qualitative open-ended questions. Based on the participants response four themes relating to definitions of professional boundaries were identified. The themes were: (a) distinct to mental health, (b) changes throughout career, (c) relates to patient age, and (d) impact on practice. The results suggest the need for additional research on professional boundaries in a variety of psychiatric and non-psychiatric settings. The results of this study also offer many implications for future practice including regular staff training, thorough educational foundation, administrative attention to boundary violations and adequate self-care. The outcomes of this study can be used to guide psychiatric mental health nurses, nurse administrators, and healthcare organizations in promoting the therapeutic relationship while maintaining professional boundaries.
Download or read book Boundary Issues and Dual Relationships in the Human Services written by Frederic G. Reamer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should a therapist disclose personal information to a client, accept a client’s gift, or provide a former client with a job? Is it appropriate to exchange e-mail or text messages with clients or correspond with them on social networking websites? Some acts, such as initiating a sexual relationship with a client, are clearly prohibited, yet what about more subtle interactions, such as hugging or accepting invitations to a social event? Is maintaining a friendship with a former client or a client’s relative a conflict of interest? Frederic G. Reamer offers a frank analysis of a range of boundary issues that human-service practitioners may confront. He confronts the ethics of intimate relationships with clients and former clients, the healthy parameters of practitioners’ self-disclosure, the giving and receiving of gifts and favors, and the unavoidable and unanticipated circumstances of social encounters and geographical proximity. With case studies addressing challenges in the mental health field, school contexts, child welfare, addiction programs, home health care, elder services, and prison, rural, and military settings, Reamer offers effective, practical risk-management models that prevent problems and help balance dual relationships. Since the publication of the previous edition of Boundary Issues and Dual Relationships in the Human Services in 2012, digital technology has transformed how human-service professionals deliver services to clients. This third edition brings the book up to date, adding discussion of the ways in which practitioners’ online communications and technology-based relationships with clients can violate ethical standards and providing practical advice for how to resolve boundary issues.

The editors have produced a volume that is both comprehensive and concise, meeting the needs of clinicians who prefer a single, user-friendly volume. In the service of brevity, the book focuses on treatment over diagnostic considerations, and addresses both empirically-validated treatments and accumulated clinical wisdom where research is lacking. Noteworthy features include the following: Content is organized according to DSM-5® categories to make for rapid retrieval of relevant treatment information for the busy clinician. Outcome studies and expert opinion are presented in an accessible way to help the clinician know what treatment to use for which disorder, and how to tailor the treatment to the patient. Content is restricted to the major psychiatric conditions seen in clinical practice while leaving out less common conditions and those that have limited outcome research related to the disorder, resulting in a more streamlined and affordable text. Chapters are meticulously referenced and include dozens of tables, figures, and other illustrative features that enhance comprehension and recall. An authoritative resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses, and an outstanding reference for students in the mental health professions, Gabbard's Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders, Fifth Edition, will prove indispensable to clinicians seeking to provide excellent care while transitioning to a DSM-5® world.

Book excerpt: ìThe opinions expressed in this publication go directly to the challenges we will collectively face as we enter the 21st century.." -- from the Foreword by Patrick H. DeLeon, PhD, JD, ABPP, Past President, American Psychological Association ìThis volume, through a series of diverse approaches and considerations, has dispelled for all time the monolithic notion that dual relationships are always harmful and should be avoided...remarkable and refreshing.î -- Nicholas A. Cummings, PhD, ScD, Former President., American Psychological Association This book, the first of its kind, covers the clinical, ethical and legal aspects of non-sexual dual relationships. It provides detailed guidelines on how to navigate the complexities of intended and unintended crossings of the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship. Contributors representing various therapeutic approaches and work settings challenge the prevailing interpretations of ethical standards as presented by the American Psychological and the American Counseling Associations' Code of Ethics. Through case examples, they demonstrate how non-sexual dual relationships may result in increased trust, familiarity, and therapeutic effectiveness. Discussions include concerns of rural, military, church, hearing impaired and other small communities; behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and feminist views on DR; and more. This is a book for all practicing therapists. Appendices contain guidelines to nonsexual dual relationships in psychotherapy.
Download or read book More Moments in Time written by Beth Perry and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within most disciplines there are those who are recognized by their colleagues as being exceptionally competent practitioners. These people are sometimes called "expert," "unusually competent," or "extraordinary." Their commonality is that they do their work in a remarkable way and their actions and interpersonal interactions are regarded by others as highly successful. This book is based on a recent study of the beliefs, actions, and interactions of a group of unusually competent oncology nurses. These are nurses their peers would choose to have care for them if they were diagnosed with cancer. The weaving together of the nurses’ narratives and comments, field notes, and poetry, give a very personal and unique perspective on nursing that leaves the reader with a greater understanding of the experience and rewards of caring for others.
