The breach of personal boundaries may be physical, personal, sexual, business or financial, sometimes a combination.
The vast majority of cases involve abuse over a period of time, often involving a gradual erosion of acceptable professional/client boundaries leading to emotional and, sometimes, sexual abuse. The period of time over which the acts are perpetrated can range from a single occasion to weeks, months or years.
