In reply to 'very' concerned about professionalism, posted by friesandcoke on August 7, 2009, at 0:21:48
We have this discussion all the time in my office. We can all list things that are "un"professional - but it is harder to define professional. Especially in human services. I'm glad you wrote that different people have different pet peeves - what they need and want can be very different from what I need or want.
For me, I'd say I'm on the conservative side of professional. I want my therapist in slacks, casual shirt and office shoes. Dark shoes. I want him respectful and well-informed. And I don't want to have to keep adjusting this or that to accommodate him.
