Re: Ethical dilemma...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, the therapist only sees her a few times a year, and have to base their evaluations on whatever she tells them. I've known them for much longer, and frankly... relative is an unreliable narrator. It's not like she will straight out lie, but the truth is very flexible and is often retconned to a more palatable version of history.

Yeah. I wasn't necessarily suggesting that you're perception of them is wrong. I mean, that's always possible, but therapists also miss things. I think few therapists are nearly as good at reading people as one would ideally hope a therapist would be. But even so, if this person's therapist isn't able to read between the lines with the patient, you pointing out what's between the lines to them might not make much of a difference. They might follow up with your family member, or they might just dismiss your observations out of hand.

As I said, I honestly don't blame you for wanting to bring this up with your family member. Personally, I wouldn't blame you for bringing it up with them, simply to get it out in the open. However, it seems unlikely to help them and a lot more likely to just cause a fight or a rift between them and you.

Yeah, that's a disappointing possibility. I have never contacted any of the therapists directly. My relative usually changes them on a regular basis after deciding one "isn't working". I suspect that occasionally a therapist gets close to the root of the problem or suggests something she doesn't like, so she leaves them. But I doubt any of them would take my word for it, as a non healthcare professional.
