That's interesting about the gifts. I've seen posts from you saying that before, about a certain amount of $. We have no such thing where I live. We're only told not to accept gifts that are too expensive - jewelry, car, house But the other, smaller stuff, that's left open to interpretation as to how much is too much, I think. It's interesting that you mentioned therapists in the US being held to the same standards as teachers. Teachers here seem to accept gifts quite freely and there are still the corrupt ones who will ask for expensive things in order to let students pass etc. It never happened to me when I was in school, but I've read articles about it and that there were parents who recorded such discussions with the teachers. I think this is also a cultural thing. Interestingly, psychotherapy is very young in my country, but I've never heard of this level of corruption among psychotherapists. I've heard and known cases of therapists who are unethical in other ways, but no receiving very expensive gifts from clients.
