Case study 1 (A case on professional boundaries)
Julia, a 24 year old model, initially came to the Natural Health Clinic to get some advice about diet.
Although she generally eats well, she has been noticing a drastic weight loss over a period of two
months. After three sessions, the practitioner, Michael, starts to feel a little uncomfortable in the
sessions. Although Julia is still addressing her dietary issues, she is asking about the practitioner’s
personal life and making suggestions about catching up after work. How should the practitioner
respond?
