    This first-of-a-kind analysis will focus exclusively on unavoidable and mandated multiple relationships between clients and psychotherapists. The book will cover the ethics of a range of venues and situations where dual relationships are mandated, such as in the military, prisons/jails, and police departments, and settings where multiple relationships are unavoidable, such as rural communities; graduate schools and training institutions; faith, spiritual, recovery or 12-step, minority and disabled communities, total institutions, and sport psychology. The complexities of social network ethics and digital dual relationships, such as clients becoming "friends" or "fans" on their therapists’ social media pages are discussed.  Finally, the book will discuss the complexities multiple roles that inevitably emerge in supervisory relationships.

    I support publication. The book would provide a valuable supplement to existing literature. The topic is timely and compelling.—Frederic Reamer, Professor Rhode Island College

You have a quality person organizing and developing this book, and a person with much experience in the field.  He could certainly draw upon his insights and experiences in crafting this book -- I would hope that Ofer Zur brings his personal perspective into each of the sections as much as possible.—Gerald Corey, Ed.D., ABPP, Diplomate in Counseling Psychology, California Licensed Psychologist, Professor Emeritus
