Quote" Hugs at discharge are a stick subject."\

Yes, that's the truth. My present therapist and I give each other a hug when I finish my therapy, but it's because I asked him one time if it was okay. Besides, he's gay and I'm a straight woman. Anyway, I had a therapist at another clinic one time. After he wasn't my therapist anymore (form some reason -- maybe he switched to another clinic, something innocent) I saw him in the parking lot of a supermarket. He had his son, about 6 years old, with him, and he gave me a big smile and hugged me!! I was shocked! Talk about breaking ethics! Therapists aren't even supposed to show recognition of their clients, in public, unless the client speaks first! It's a breach of clients' privacy! Same with pharmacists, by the way.
