and mcl6136  for all your input.
I am very grateful for your efforts in helping me find my way.
I apologize that I have taken so long to report back on this issue.
I have been having a very difficult time because I am grieving the death of my dog. I plan to check out the grieving section of psych central when I feel up to it.
I printed out my version of events which included the initial posting for this thread. I was scared, but so nauseated by this p-doc's forgetful, dismissive behavior that I knew I needed to let him know.
He apologized that we had a "miscommunication" and claimed that he did not suggest we use the book as a "workbook"--the very word he initially used. Later on in our session he said he had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder as an excuse for missing details in therapy.
He did suggest I return the book and offered to loan me his own copy. I'm not interested in borrowing anything from him.
I don't think he has the adequate skills to treat people in therapy. He doesn't take notes, for whatever reason. It might help.
At any rate, I don't trust him anymore and don't think he's helping me much. I've scheduled less appointments with him and plan to resume work with a different counselor and my old psychiatrist next year, when my life (hopefully) should be less complicated.
