Therapists and many other independent professionals need to keep a clear line between their professional relationship with clients, not stepping over the line into being friends.
Many therapists are asking how to draw the line on dual relationships when they are also active on social media, and a client sends them a friend request.
For a great resource on how to respond when clients send a “friend request” on Facebook, MySpace, LInkedIn, Twitter, or other social networking sites go to http://www.zurinstitute.com/facebook_clinicalupdate.html.
Thanks to Pat Wicklund of Leading Your Organization of One for the notice.
