Yes, the NASW code of ethics is identical the Ontario/Canadian Social Work one. (I am legally bound, also, because I am a member...and I pay 400 bucks a year for such!..hehee) I am not saying that your own transference issues, as long as they don't interfere with the professional relationship, are not 'fine'. Should this leave the clients mind and enter into the communication between the two, then the SW has an obligation to terminate. A good therapist can pick this up quite easily.
I am going to talk to some fellow colleagues about this (minus any names and this sight), as well as put it to the biggest list of social workers on the internet. I *really* would like to make sure I am hammering on the issue in a way mean't to be discussed.
