This first part of this article will discuss what the author considers ethically, legally, and personally relevant in addressing the issue of a client wishing to continue a social relationship after the end of therapy. It explains how the author will proceed and the elements that could affect his or her decision regarding responsible professional practice. Given the scenario in which the author's client revealed that he was sexually attracted to me, the second part of this article will discuss how the author's actions would be different if she was sexually attracted to her client in return. It will also discuss how the author would proceed and what would affect his or her decisions regarding responsible professional practice. The author's client ends therapy because he lets her know that he would like to begin some form of social relationship after therapy ends. In response, the author explains to the client that she will allow a social relationship with her client only if it is beneficial in contributing to continued positive progress in treating her problems. Section 3.05 of the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of the Psychologist and Code of Conduct on Multiple Relationships states that a multiple relationship occurs when a psychologist serves in one professional role with one person and at the same time serves in another role with the same person. It also indicates that the psychologist has a relationship with a person closely related to the person with whom the psychologist has a relationship, or agrees to enter into another relationship in the future with the person related to the person (Zur Institute, 2011 ). Additionally, the author would explain to her client that she thinks it's middle of paper......apy has been terminated. The author's solution to this scenario is to discuss with the client that he will only allow a social relationship with his client if it is beneficial in contributing to continued positive progress in treating his problems. In the second scenario where there is mutual sexual attraction between therapist and client, the author suggests referring one's client to another trusted psychologist and avoiding contact with the client. If it is not possible to avoid contact with the client after the referral and contact is sought, then the psychologist risks being sued for professional misconduct by their client. In the author's opinion, following ethical codes of conduct, being disciplined, setting boundaries, and maintaining a strict therapist-client relationship is the best policy for responsible professional practice..
