I think most people here find excuses for poor behavior (stalker-ish) and say we just did it because of X, Y, Z. If the situation were reversed, and T googled/facebooked/etc the client, the board is outraged by such unprofessionalism. Yet the client has no accountability. Tsk tsk. I don't agree. It's creepy to me.
It wouldn't bother me at all, although I can tell you that I don't think a previous Therapist of mine ever looked me up on Facebook since just before last elections she was trying to figure out my political views (and guessed incorrect) and if she had taken one look at my Facebook page she would have known what they were because of all of all the stuff I was posting at the time (but than again I am not sure what on my profile you can see without being my friend).
