| Abstract: | Psychologists are increasingly delivering or supervising services in their clients' homes or community. However, because of the looser emotional and temporal boundaries associated with these settings, they may enter problematic roles that place them at risk of boundary crossings or boundary violations. Supervisees and inexperienced psychologists may be unprepared for these opportunities and challenges. The author reviews problematic roles that are somewhat unique to these settings (guest, parent, and buddy-friend) and makes recommendations to ensure the quality of psychological services delivered there.
