Mental health practitionerr in r u d settings have identified managing multiple relationships JS their most difficult ethical dilemma (e.g., Sleek, 1994). Fu*er, they have indicated that specific suggestions for negotiating this difficulty are rare (Stockman, 1990). This article reviews the current status of the literature addresslng the management of multiple relationships in rural communities, and proposes that the psychodynamic concept of neutdity and empirically determined therapy bounday violations provide a useful way to conceptualize managing multiple relationships in I U~ communities. Guidelines are provided for regulating behavior with both clients and other members of the community who am considered "prospective" clients.

In the context of a theory of the intrapsychic dynamics of violent spousal relationships, in which abuse serves to replace shame with guilt, the effect of the order of presentation of questionnaires assessing shame, guilt, narcissism and conflict tactics was considered. Among 122 male and 133 female students, a shame score was significantly higher if the student had responded first to the Conflict Tactics Scale.

The present study evaluated the pattern of time perception distortions for 31 obese and 30 nonobese individuals when stress was induced and then removed. A 2 × 3 repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate group differences in time perception for baseline, stress, and postsress conditions. At baseline, no between‐group differences were found. However, obese subjects showed a significant increase in internal clock rate over nonobese subjects during the stress period which was maintained throughout the postress period. These findings suggest that obese individuals perceive time as passing more slowly when under stress and maintain this time distortion after external stress has been removed. Implications for weight gain and failure to sustain dieting behaviors for obese individuals are discussed along with suggestions for future research.
