May/June 2025: The Hidden Dangers to Your Practice: Exploring Therapy’s Shifting Boundaries & Ethical Sinkholes

This issue examines the underlying forces that are having a big effect not only on the individual practices of on-the-ground therapists, but on the trajectory of our field. Articles cover the pitfalls that need to be considered if therapists decide to do life coaching, how venture capitalist firms are gutting therapists’ pay and cutting clinical teams - and what therapists can do about it, how to build your brand as a therapist, a look back at some of the major shifts in the fields of trauma, race and gender issues, couples therapy, and mindfulness, and why minoritized supervisees are leaving the field. Other pieces cover the case for rethinking diagnosis, how communities can heal intergenerational trauma, how to help female clients struggling to experience sexual pleasure, and two takes from expert therapists on working with a client who consistently shows up late to sessions.
