Sheila, age 24, is a counselor at a community-based halfway house for men on parole who are also substance
abusers. Most of the clients are in their twenties and early thirties. Sheila finds herself physically attracted to Biff, a
good-looking, charming twenty-six-year-old parolee who resides in the house. Agency policy clearly forbids any such
