In my opinion, a T has no ethical right to say he won't work with a patient who talks about or attempts suicide. Suicidal thoughts are a symptom of depression, which is surely the most common reason people see T's. It makes no more sense than an oncologist saying to a patient, sorry, you have to promise your cancer will go into remission, otherwise I'll stop working with you. A T who doesn't want to work with suicidal patients needs to find another job. Cecilia
