for a therapist or pdoc to say that another therapist or pdoc in his or her opinion is not very good? Last night at group, one of the group members asked for a recommendation of a therapist in the St. Louis area. One of the therapists that leads our group said that he only knew of a couple in that area and he would not recommend either - but then said it would be against his profession's ethics to give a "avoidance" type list. That makes no sense to me. I am one of those rotten attorneys. Nowhere in my legal training was I ever taught that I could not tell a person from either a legal or ethical stance that they couldn't use Joe Smith because he was somewhat incompetent. But I have heard from time to time both therapists and doctors refuse to name names of incompetent doctors. I don't get it. Any insight? This is mainly a curiousity type thing (and I know - it kills the cat!).
