I totally agree that your ratings should be managed confidentially, because allowing practitioners to see specifically who ratings are coming from, almost ensures that patients are going to be shy about saying what they really think. Maybe it's a new system though, for which they haven't yet worked out logistical kinks.

Only you know, but this seems like a pretty cheap shot to me. To use her knowledge of your more sensitive personal relationships to argue her side of an issue that is between her and you, I think is a bit of a conflict of interest. I mean, she's hardly an objective party in this. It's sort of akin to insider trading! Anyway, with an openly managed ratings system like that, she's really going to need to get better at receiving feedback from others...
If you decide to go forward with her as your therapist I hope she will find herself able to discuss the issue more constructively, because to me the only way this should be being raised to you, if at all, is as an opportunity to positively discuss your goals in therapy.
