> for a therapist or pdoc to say that another therapist or pdoc in his or her opinion is not very good? Last night at group, one of the group members asked for a recommendation of a therapist in the St. Louis area. One of the therapists that leads our group said that he only knew of a couple in that area and he would not recommend either - but then said it would be against his profession's ethics to give a "avoidance" type list. That makes no sense to me. I am one of those rotten attorneys. Nowhere in my legal training was I ever taught that I could not tell a person from either a legal or ethical stance that they couldn't use Joe Smith because he was somewhat incompetent. But I have heard from time to time both therapists and doctors refuse to name names of incompetent doctors. I don't get it. Any insight? This is mainly a curiousity type thing (and I know - it kills the cat!).

> AKCInteresting post ... you being an attorney (which I now remember that I haven't been too kind to) questioning the ethics of another profession on nearly the same plain of existence, now let me think ...
So, who are the good and bad lawyers in your area that you can or cannot recommend?
Is it ethical for you, acting as an officer of the court, to do the same thing?
Is it ethical for you, acting as a regular person, to do the same?
