Well, it really does come down to taking that risk because I don't think there's any way to know for sure in such a short time how he responds to things. I did exactly what you wrote above and said no to IP and what I would do instead (xyz), and she just said would I call if it got worse and when I said yes, she thought that was acceptable. So, it turned out well.
Can you start off by asking him how he responds to clients who are in crisis--if he's collaborative and takes their lead or if he errs on the side of safety and makes decisions for them?
