Which of the following would not necessarily be a clear violation of the professional relationship between a clinical psychologist trainee and his or her supervisor?
  1. The supervisee dating the supervisor’s son or daughter.
  2. The supervisor and supervisee both attending the same cocktail party.
  3. Supervision taking place alone with the supervisee in the supervisor’s home.
  4. Supervisor assigning the supervisee to conduct therapy with someone the supervisor had an intimate relationship with a year ago.
Explanation
Answer: B - It would not be a clear violation of professional standards for the supervisor and supervisee to attend the same cocktail party-as long as they both keep their behavior within accepted professional boundaries. However, there is no valid reason to justify supervision taking place in the supervisor’s home instead of the office. Furthermore, any sexual activity between the two of them or between one of them and another significant person-past or present-in that other person’s life is an express violation of the Ethical Code for psychologists.
