Or what if the client is delusional? Say the client tells their therapist a bunch of stuff and the therapist believes them, then the therapist goes on the client's FB and finds that it's untrue. That puts them in a very difficult ethical position.
Do they change their behavior now that they know that the client's stories are delusions? Would it be unethical to not change their approach for the client's best interests? At what point could they say they would have figured it out without FB so it's okay to act on that knowledge?
