We do have certain means at our disposal to make it easier for people to make ethical choices, especially if they work in a profession overseen by a regulatory body of some sort. Tends not to work so well in finance, hmm, but has worked in the fields of medicine and education. If we cannot force people to behave ethically, we can encourage such behavior in others by ensuring that unethical behavior is brought to light. Remarkable how the threat of sanctions often does get people to chnage their ways. Of course, one has to be willing to be the whistlblower--a most unpleasant task but often rewarding to see the outcomes.I am willing to risk personal pain to see justice served. I am a foolish, foolish person who will die trying to make the world a less corrup place. And that is okay.

Dinah I tend to agree with most of what you say. Was the dodo related to the duck? I'm still not sure I understand Kate's question, but I have known some analysts who I believe could provide emotional comfort as well as any other psychotherapist. The key is not to foster dependences or isolate the "patient" from more important people, and not to confuse providing comfort with treating mental illness. Now I have to add about Friedman's article that it disturbs me that he publishes what must be an authentic case history, apparently with no disguise. Before you speculate that the patient authorized it note that the APA ethics code annotation indicates that one cannot get true freely given consent from a patient. I will be writing the NY district branch. (BTW. Last time I did this the NYDB wrote a letter to the Times. A lot of good it seems to have done.)moviedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617061594621924756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-34370945787999813762011-01-18T01:03:58.537-05:002011-01-18T01:03:58.537-05:00Or then there's the mutlti-faceted, uses more ...Or then there's the mutlti-faceted, uses more than one approach - psychodynamic, CBT, and for all I know some of other things as well, approach. Multidisciplinary, I guess. I'm glad he's not stuck in one, because I have some problems with one or two fine points of CBT. Most of it's fine but I just have problems a few of the details. At the same time, much of it works for me - I have a post I'll do sometime called CBT for my knees, where I have done the Triple Column Technique about worrying about when they taped up my knees in physical therapy for shifty kneecaps, and I worried about how much it hurt to take the tape off. I worried so much I was making myself nauseous, so I thought, CBT it! And, it worked splendidly, no more nausea!Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.com
