Boundaries are discussed in the context of the theory and practice of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and person-centred counselling and psychotherapy. Internal psychological boundaries within the personality and the effect of these on psychological disturbance are also examined. Dr Davies concludes with an analysis of the impact of boundary management on the effectiveness of counselling and psychotherapy.
