Select
one of the following scenarios:
• A
psychologist is seeing a client in therapy. The client tells him she can no
longer pay for sessions. You have been struggling to deal with the paperwork
imposed by managed care and by your billing. You suggest that the client can
work for you two days per week instead of paying for sessions.
•
You are a professor at a local college. One of the students in your class is
clearly distraught. You notice this and mention that you hope everything is
okay. The student tells you that his wife recently left him and he is having
difficulty coping with the situation. You talk to him for a few minutes and
then leave for your office. At the next class, the student tells you how much
he appreciated your concern. He states that he understands that you are a
psychologist and asks for your card. The next day he calls your office for an
appointment to see you.
• A
client you are seeing has a house on St. Thomas. One day during a particular
difficult session, the client suggests that you might enjoy a trip to St.
Thomas and a stay at his villa on the ocean. You tell him that you really do
not have any time for a trip but thank him for his offer. The next week, the
client states that he will not take “no” for an answer and tells you that on your
next vacation, you must let him know so that he can make certain that the villa
is available.
• A
close friend of yours is having difficulty with her teenage daughter.
She
knows you are a psychologist who specializes in adolescents. She asks if you
would be willing to see her daughter for a few sessions to straighten her out.
