TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Opening a debate on personal boundaries and work with sex offenders: A personal view of a clinical supervisor JO - Journal of sexual aggression A1 - Maule, Linda SP - 247 EP - 252 VL - 13 IS - 3 N2 - As a clinical supervisor of employees working in prisons conducting rehabilitation programmes with offenders, I frequently encounter situations where personal boundaries are breached. This paper discusses the types of boundary breaches that may occur in work with sex offenders and why, and suggests ways in which individuals and teams can guard against breaches. Accepting that the possibility of boundary breaches exists for everyone, and providing awareness education of how they occur can assist in reducing them. Once they occur, the consequences can be devastating, ranging from embarrassment and unwanted publicity to loss of career and criminal convictions.
