Quacks....
From Broom Hilda
With thanks to Ross who sent me the link to this cartoon.
I'm wondering what she wanted validated? Her parking ticket, perhaps?
All true therapeutic relationships have got to be severable. We're more familiar with the scenario shown in the cartoon, where the client doesn't like what she hears from a potential therapist.
What about the other way 'round? I maintain that docs should be able to discharge stable clients, not in crisis, whenever the therapeutic contract is broken (see discussion re: payment, for example).
Many pedies fire families that refuse to vaccinate. I keep them on. But I support my colleagues' decision.
