So far (i.e., week four of the second season) all of Paul's boundary crossings seem to be clinically-driven and ethical. The original comment is correct, not taking clinical notes, in today's standard is sub-standard.<br /><br />Here is the short list of boundary crossings in the second series:<br />- Multiple Relationships: Paul is involved in `client-initiated' sequential dual relationships with Mia.<br />- Transparency: Paul deliberately self-disclosed meaningful personal information to all four clients, Mia, Walter, Oliver, and April<br />- Leaving the office: Paul was engaged in out-of-office activities (i.e., left the office) when he accompanied April to her first chemotherapy treatment and visited Walter in the hospital after a Walter's failed suicide attempt.<br />- Serving food: Paul fed self-starving young Oliver.<br />- Touch (non-sexual): Paul appropriately touched Walter and Oliver. <br />- Cell Phones: Paul allowed-tolerated Walter and April use of cell phone during sessions.<br /><br />Again, all of the above, from what we have seen so far (4th week, second season) are clinically appropriate and therapeutically helpful.

The things that some lawyers will do for a billable hour are so mind-bogglingly wrong on so many levels that it's hard to know how to begin. And to think, she probably charged him costs for the kleenex she used sobbing in her office afterwards. Hell, she probably used a few and then charged him for the whole box. Lawyers really need to get their professional house in order.<BR/><BR/>That one was for you, Roy.nonstandard mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317308584006468929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-72478732878821107722009-04-06T12:29:00.000-04:002009-04-06T12:29:00.000-04:00I think some of that personal stuff "everyone is n...I think some of that personal stuff "everyone is naked" is just a weird translation of the culture here - where everyone DOES know everyone else's business and are very emotionally expressive.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606922510495018342noreply@blogger.com
