I've seen many that were relieved to see me upon arrival, and some that made a point of waving and saying hi after release, but none quite that determined to be my patient that they'd try to get arrested.ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1153670079881851032006-07-23T11:54:00.000-04:002006-07-23T11:54:00.000-04:00So this raises a question that of very oten raised...So this raises a question that of very oten raised on inpatient units. Just how much of a relationship should we have with our patients? How much of a positive atmosphere should we consciously produce (beyond what is required for stabilization)?<BR/><BR/>The question is about transference and countertransference. When patients begin to see certain clinicians or clinical settings in too positive a light (home, father/mother figures, etc), admission to those clinical settings becomes rewarding. Patient presentation to psych ERs, jails, etc, then becomes more about admission to a friendly place and less about treating acute mental illness. <BR/><BR/>Do we "create" malingering or facticious disorder by allowing this to happen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1153617115216766692006-07-22T21:11:00.000-04:002006-07-22T21:11:00.000-04:00I looked for something more serious but after I se...I looked for something more serious but after I searched "dead prisoners" I began to seriously question what was happening to me, and I just couldn't copy and paste someone's dead body, hence the cartoon.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1153616745815184372006-07-22T21:05:00.000-04:002006-07-22T21:05:00.000-04:00I liked your pic, just not on that particular post...I liked your pic, just not on that particular post---it was about seriously ill, potentially dead inmates.
