> But why would you assume that Dr. Bob doesn't internalize and use the same clinical "rules" here as he would in a private practice? Perhaps it's not governed the same way by outside forces, but isn't it possible that he self-governs?
I'm not assuming that he does not do this.
But I'm also not assuming that he does.
My point is that according to the ethics boards...
His conduct is nothing to do with them.
So the fact is that he can do whatever the f*ck he likes...
If he decided to f*ck a babblers brains out...
If he decided to try and sell shares in his company...
If he decided that the good of the group was more important than the good of the individual (so that one individual suicides over a policy that works out for the good of the group)
All this is beyond reproach
Beyond consequence
Of an ethics board.
Of a regulating authority.He is god here.
And he asks us to trust him...In some countries there is no trademark on the term 'councellor'.
Anybody can set themselves up as a councellor.
They aren't governed by a regulating body.
They can do whatever they like...
It is a matter of personal decision.Do you think that is acceptable?
So you think that it is acceptable that Dr Bob doesn't have to answer to a relatively objective body regarding his conduct on the boards?I...
Think that he is asking one hell of a lot.
Would you accept it if you were told your potential psychotherapist wasn't a member of an association that has a governing authority regarding ethical conduct (with consequences for unethical conduct such as loss of lisence)?I would not.
> I've seen no evidence at all that Dr. Bob "uses" the transference crushes in any nefarious way. I've been impressed with the way he handles issues here for the most part.
Right. And I wouldn't want to take that away from him.
But part of transference response is that... One trusts where there may be insufficient evidence for that trust.
One places such complete trust when trust to that extent would not be placed in people IRL.> Also, this board is for us as members to help and talk with each other. Dr. Bob makes no claims, and in fact makes it clear, that he will not be providing any therapeutic assistance for anyone.
Well then... I guess that gives him lisence to do as he pleases.
> Are you feeling bitter about something?
That is irrelevant to whether my claims are legitimate or not.
Can't you see that he has positioned himself so that he does in fact get the best of both worlds.
Doesn't that make you feel just a little suspicious?
