In reply to Ally? Are you still there?, posted by Susan47 on October 30, 2005, at 14:13:47
> Susan: yes, I am still here; my computer glitched up; so am at work now.
I just realized something, well I knew it for a long time but I'm putting it into words now, that I'll bet he triggers a lot of female patients into threatening suicide because they get so desperate for the attention he keeps flashing promises of.
Unethical and sick, sick, sick
> So I'm wondering, who's sick, here? Him, or his "patients"?
He is...His patients are simply hurting, needy people in need of help.
Maybe nobody, maybe it's all "transference", the big psychological term which has more than one meaning.. one of them is "excuse for inadequate behaviour from the professional side of a therapeutic alliance"
> What an *sshole. I wish I could see him and tell him that. But it would never happen, he's not the type of person who responds well to criticism.Hey, NO ONE responds well to criticism. Are you still with him? If not, you could write a letter, and tell him just what you think. This is called RESTORATIVE JUSTICE--This is what you did---this is how it made me feel...has NOTHING to do with what his feelings are, and everything...to do with how you feel about he treated you.
I'm quite sure of that. He's very good at pointed self-delusion.
> I wonder if he wears a wedding band, yet.
> After so many years of marriage, he must have been married close to thirty years. How unprofessional.
> I think I had a reason to fall off the sanity wagon. Maybe I should consider a support group. If it were important enough to me, I would.Sounds like it is.
If I knew of enough women that this has happened to, I would do that.
Start your OWN group.....this is bigger than we hear about, or is reported to State licensing Boards.
Perhaps even there would be a few therapists in town who would be wise and good and honest enough to support something like that. I doubt it, though. Most would, I suspect, sagely nod their heads and give some noncomittal remark which would be of no help whatsoever. Because quite frankly, I think I am talking here about a profession that has become completely paranoid and schizophrenic in its behaviour.
> Maybe that should be a conference subect for the 2006 conference. Hah. Would it ever happen?Like I said: Start your own group. Did you read: In Session: Women and the Bond with their therapists? I just read it: Excellent!!
Hugs n love, Ally
