Introduction

In Chapter 15, Dr. Kolmes describes in detail the numerous potentialities for intended and unintended, planned and unplanned, and even known or unknown multiple relationships online between therapists and clients, primarily in social media. She then maps different types of multiple relationships available online. These include social, communal, professional, institutional, forensic, evaluative, business, and sexual. She suggests ways for therapists to handle online multiple relationships and emphasizes the importance of therapists having clear social networking policies.
