Some of the things I got to do at the agency this week were: finish filing and tour Valle Vista hospital in Greendwood. I managed to catalog 10 boxes of closed files of the kids who are now aged-out of the juvenile system. This was a huge task that has taken me several weeks to complete. Touring Valle Vista was an awesome experience as well. We were greeted by an enthusiastic tourguide who treated us to some Starbucks coffee and pastries. The group got to meet and ask questions of several staff members. The group also saw the various wings of the hospital. Several staff members advised me getting my masters directly after BSW. I do believe I'll take their advice!
Integration question:
HBSE/Macro: How can you determine what the formal and informal boundaries are in a community? Defining community boundaries is easier when one is within the community. However, speaking directly to members of the community in a face-to-face environment makes for a more comprehendable set of instructions about how to operate within boundaries.
*Alternative: Research/macro: What does the research show regarding how often boundary violations occur and in what areas? Provide the link to the abstract or article and citation.
I wasn't able to login to EBSCO host, but I did find an outdated article PDF version at <http://drmwilliams.com/pdf_files/Boundary_Violations.pdf>. This article discusses boundaries when using psychotherapy. Most of the boundary violations include things that have been ruled-out because of the Code of Ethics such as sexual intercourse with a client or accepting gifts. The article addresses boundary issues as if to warn against them. One would be under the impression that boundaries are crossed often in this field.
