Summary

Introduction

A convenience sample of 263 counselor education students from six CACREP-accredited programs evaluated 16 boundary crossing scenarios in the context of four ethical information interventions. Students already appear committed to making boundary crossing decisions based on personal characteristics and consulting with peers and supervisors When comparing these students with an earlier study of independently licensed counselors, the ratings of the boundary crossing scenarios as well as strategies cited for working through boundary crossings with clients were surprisingly equivalent. Her research areas of interest include adult trauma, student learning outcomes, counselor professional identity, ethical decision-making, the psychometrics of career interest inventories, counseling outcomes, counseling program evaluation, and supervision. In 2017, research with independently licensed counselors reported that none of the three ethical information resources used in the study impacted boundary crossing decision making. Just as in the study with independently licensed counselors, none of the three ethical information resources used in the study impacted students’ boundary crossing decision making. Boundary crossings accounted for half of counselor professional liability claims between 2013 and 2017 (CNA & HPSO, 2019b)
