Ethics: Working with Survivors of Abuse

An essay on understanding what it means to work with people who have suffered from abuse, mostly sexual abuse. The article touches on aspects of boundaries, on sexual and ethical considerations, on confidentiality, on dual relationships and supervision.

This was written by Ben Benjamin for the massage and body-work professions but has a lot of relevance to our work. This is part of the study course for LearningMethods teachers.

and the LearningMethods Code of Conduct.
