One powerful reason for this inaction comes from pressure on the part of the peer group on bystanders, including those who feel sympathy for the victim, to take the safe line of non-intervention.

However, the therapist does not want to empathise with the client to the extent that they hug the client upon meeting them or rant and rave with their client in a mutual expression of anger. Nor would the therapist pop in to visit at the client's home on their own way home from the office. This is the behaviour of a friend, not a therapist. Hence, boundary violation has occurred. Ambiguous boundaries often arise in the therapeutic relationship, but strict responsibilities do apply to the counsellor in relation to their duty to inform clients of the limitations on client confidentiality. Such information forms a large part of informed consent and informed consent is a fundamental client right.

Counselling psychologists, it is often argued, have the skills and training to evaluate good practice through rigorous research. The availability of a range of quantitative and qualitative methods in the social sciences makes this an especially fruitful area for study. However, the task of writing up research findings for journals remains a daunting task for many. In this article, some guidelines are presented to help practitioners disseminate their research.
