    True, False or OtherSexual intimacy with former clients or with known members of the client's family system is NOT prohibited.

    • True

    • False

    • Other

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Sexual intimacy with former clients or with known members of the client's family system is prohibited in the field of therapy. This is because it can lead to exploitation, power imbalances, and breaches of professional boundaries. Engaging in sexual relationships with former clients or their family members can harm the client's well-being and trust in the therapeutic relationship. Therefore, it is important for therapists to maintain ethical standards and avoid any form of sexual involvement with clients or their families.

    • True

    • False

    • Other

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Marriage and family therapists are advised to refrain from providing therapy to clients for whom they have conducted a forensic evaluation. This is to maintain objectivity and avoid any conflict of interest that may arise from having a dual role. Similarly, they should also avoid conducting evaluations for individuals who are already their therapy clients, unless there is a legal requirement to do so. This ensures that the therapist can maintain a clear and unbiased perspective in both therapy and evaluation processes. Therefore, the statement is true.
