Dear Snowie,
Sorry I wasn't able to read through this entire thread (too many drugs) but I too was fired by my pdoc. After a suicide attempt and months of mediation, it turned out he felt he was "over-involved" in my care. There were many verbal and physical boundary crossings, transferance and countertransferance, and lots of other new words for me. I am slowly coming to terms with this, but it has been an extremely difficult journey. To terminate abruptly is unethical, and if you feel you need some closure he is obligated to provide that to you. If he refuses, then report him to your state board of psychiatrists. Your reaction sounds considerably healthier than mine, perhaps because I was in love and was told it was reciprocated, I was particularly devestated. You have every right to be angry, to grieve, and to receive as much help as you need to get through this. Take care.
