Resources

The Professional Boundaries Company has put together a reading list of books related to boundaries and boundary violations. Staff and faculty have found all of the books listed useful in some way, but inclusion on the list isn’t meant to constitute a positive recommendation.

The list is categorised by professional sector, with some suggestions about where to start reading on specific topics.  Books written by survivors of professional abuse are marked with an asterisk.  Download the reading list here
