It is not recommended because of the imbalance that medusa talks about. You might want to read "In Session" to get an idea about the complexities of the theraputic relationship.
Although, my new therapist lives in a small, tightknit town and he says that he sees some of his clients in social settings (because there just aren't that many people to choose from). I'm not in his town, and while I wanted SO badly to be friends with my old therapist, I think it would have been disasterous.
