Post by: Anonymous on February 01, 2004, 09:15:00 AM: David was my foster brother at Straight for his entire program, 'cept 1st phase. I guess we lived together for almost 2 years. We have kept in touch on and off for almost 25 years.

How was he as a therapist??

Yep. He had that tough ass, in you face attitude that some therapists take advantage of. But, he wasn't that intimidating really. I'm not sure why he left Pathway. Do you know?

He is doing well as a forensic socialologist or someting like. Heard he recently got married. Good for him...he'll live longer. Hope to see him sometime in 2004.

Post by: 12stepper on February 02, 2004, 03:13:00 PM: Hey, what's the law about a therapist marrying the mother of two kids that that therapist counselled? Does that make sense? Isn't there an ethics issue here or something. I'm not pointing any fingers, I am just curious.

Post by: 12stepper on February 02, 2004, 03:20:00 PM: Right, but is it illegal or simply unethical? Can someone's practice be threatened by a situation like this?

I have a feeling most of your ex clients want to sue you...You are a real mind helper arent ya?
How does it feel to know you are a quack..to know that you have done more harm than good?
I have read all the SAFE ex client posts and they all agree you and your cohorts damaged them beyond repair.
People read these boards and think Im fucked up...and its basically from your program.

I clearly see it as being somewhat unethical, but then again, I want David to have happiness and if his new wife brings him that then, well I'm glad. He deserves happiness. The kids won't be around for ever. They may even be adult children now. So, I'm not gonna judge anyone, esp David in this situation.

Post by: 12stepper on February 03, 2004, 10:17:00 AM: Sure, I suppose I agree with you. He does deserve it, and her kids are 20 and older. She's actually really cool too. Amnesty for Dave. :wave:
