Kaslow and her colleagues. They discuss the uniqueness of this therapeutic process from both the clinician's and the client's perspectives. The particular complexities of therapy with therapists, the ethical issues and the boundary problems that are raised, and the potential pitfalls and benefits of such work are addressed in a clear, straightforward fashion.
