Well, I think so too. In fact, I'm not sure how they do it as a human being.
It's just that the ethical standards are sort of fill in the blanks, cya, stuff. Many professional standards seem to be. So she might have technically satisfied the ethical requirements while falling short on less technical measures.
It's a shame there isn't more recognition of the issues in client/therapist relationships. A while back, I was trying to find information on how to handle sexual attraction on the part of a client (it wasn't personal to me - lol) and I was speaking with a group of professionals who were most grateful when I directed them to the APA video on the subject. From even the description of the video they realized that their training was insufficient and that they had misperceptions about the proper course of action. :(
It's very nice to meet you and speak with you as well.
