Is it unethical to get involved with one of T's relatives?

I believe ethics are for the therapist - not the client.
It may be unwise but not unethical in my opinion. Is it due to interest in the relative for themselves or as an indirect connection to the therapist?

I don't think so.
Not sure what you mean by getting involved with and how close a relative are we talking here about... but be prepared if the T thinks it's unethical of him to keep treating you under these circumstances. I'm pretty sure my T would drop me like a hot potato if I started dating his son/brother/close friend. |

I'd discuss it with my T as "getting involved" and not sharing it would be a major secret and kind of skew any trust in the working relationship therapy usually needs. Would be a bit like T getting involved with someone close to you and not telling you. I wouldn't do it.

If I really liked the person I would date them and drop my t and see a different t.

I really don't want to go into specifics. Just wondered what everyone here would have to say about it. I definitely wouldn't continue to see T if anything came of the situation.

Clients don't have to abide by ethics, only the therapist does. It obviously depends on the situation, but the biggest concern is how it affects you. If there aren't any problems, then I'd play it by ear.

Only therapists are supposed to abide by ethics not clients. It would be unethical for a therapist to continue working with a client who is involved with a therapist's relative when a therapist becomes aware of such involvement. For a client it's a matter of their personal judgment.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
