yea I know but ....shoulda could a would a is different than what is legal.
here in america there is no laws stating a treatment provider .....must... treat someone they feel they can not help. there is no laws stating a treatment provider....must continue seeing a client who all they do is come in sit down and accuse them of abuse.
here in america there is a process in all USA states on how to deal with being abused by treatment providers..your treatment provider can give you the rights and responsibilities forms, complaint process, and what the process is in your state for things like a treatment provider commiting the crime of emotional, physical or sexual abuse during sessions.
some treatment providers do take more time then others but legally only two sessions must legally happen to resolve the issue, then termination and possible legal action against a treatment provider here in america can and most times does begin.
how do i know this.... I am a treatment provider, I am a client of a past treatment provider who emotionally abused me who was prosecuted. I am also a mom of a special needs daughter who sees her own treatment providers so as her parent has received the federal and state information on this kind of problem.
