ETA - The 3 referrals can be anybody. Ex-T picked the first 3 Ts in my area off of psychology today... She put no effort into it.

This is what I read: "What duty does the psychotherapist owe to his or her clients to plan for the client’s care in the event the therapist is killed, severely injured or otherwise rendered incapable of treating or notifying clients? The therapist owes both an ethical and a legal duty to plan for the handling of his or her clients in the case of his or her sudden and unexpected death. Failure to have a plan in place for the continuation of therapy with another psychotherapist may be considered an abandonment of the client."
What To Do When a Therapist Dies
I'm not sure why lawyers or courts have entered this conversation.
