5. 81 “Role boundaries constitute the essential boundary issue. To conceptualize this entity, one might ask, ‘Is this what a therapist does?’” See id. (“Concept of Boundaries”), supra note 89, at 190. According to Agich George, “The concept of a social role serves an important, though problematic, function in ethics. Roles define not only moral duties for individuals, but also the kinds of action morally permissible for individuals to perform in particular social settings…. In other words, significant social roles define responsibility for the role agent which are qualitatively different from the obligations of moral agents generally.” See Agich (Roles and Responsibilities), supra note 33, at 105. According to Aulisio, Arnold and Youngner: [I]f standards are to be set for a given activity, it will be important to identify what the activity is supposed to be and, further, what it is supposed to achieve….Underlying any intuition one might have regarding the proper goals of an activity is, at the very least, an implicit concept of the nature of that activity. It is the concept of what that activity is supposed to be that allows one to identify certain goals as appropriate to it. To use a humorous example, imagine that your colleague professed that one of his goals in going to the dentist was to have a bunion removed from his foot. With the possible exception of a colleague who was constantly, and quite literally, putting his foot in his mouth, we would be sure that your colleague was confused about the nature of dentistry. Aulisio Arnold Youngner, (“Educational and Training Standards”), supra note 63, at 487, 488.
