You have to assume that everything in the therapy room is there for a reason, and I can't for the life of me understand how personal family photos benefit the client. Perhaps they are there to ground the therapist? If so, I would have thought that putting them inside the desk to look at between sessions might be more discreet if they really need their own transition objects ;-)I would hate to see photos of my T in the room, and thankfully he has the tact and sensitivity to avoid it. I really am curious about other T's... has anyone asked their T why the photos are there, given the inevitable sensitivity of some clients to them?
