I find a chair of the same high and quality as the doctor helpful when speaking about the human condition of mental health or the neurotic state of mind.
Touchy subject. The reason I haven’t left a comment as soon as you posted is because I was in the psych ward. You can just assume that from now on, for future reference. (SI)

Does it matter how prestigious a psychiatry residency program is? One just opened up in my hometown of Muscle Shoals Alabama. I think it would be nice to train in the place I plan to work and build my career.
Hi Benjamin, In my opinion prestige is not necessarily important; it is important to enjoy your residency training, to see a wide variety of patients, and to have a variety of good teachers. Peter Goertz
Potentially these are people who need a sense of security and safety- so it’s flattering they ask, but that sense of security that the psychiatrist may professionally provide could always be confused for sexual attraction.
Good subject. In my experience, I guess it can be more often present in cluster b patients. Sometimes, to excercise some kind of distance from the patient, in seeing the pt as a case, could be helpful.
As a clinical therapist, it’s no different and very common. I can relate to being shocked at first, but always keeping in the back of my mind. The reason I am in this helping field is to heal and not help myself. There are horror stories of professionals, losing their license because of the bravery of having relationships with a clients/patients. It’s egregious and unethical.
I had a two year affair with my psychologist. I do NOT support this at all. There can never be consent from a patient because of the power imbalance. The psychologist died of a heart-attack at 62 after he was going to lose his license after I reported him to the licensing board AND got a lawyer demanding compensation for his unethical practices (in which I was compensated $80,000. I turned into an alcoholic at 50 over this. My whole TH-cam channel is about my experiences with unethical psychologists. And also I have several books I have written on the topic available on Amazon. I'm not sure about your state, but in many states this is a crime (a felony) punishable by JAIL!
@@SandraLeeWyllie This is what you said when you caused a heart attack and sued the man and took his savings. Sick. Not that you have any empathy nor sympathy.
Interesting topic for sure.
Thank you. Interesting with some sad aspects.
Thank you Dr. Goertz for sharing this. Take care : )
Thank you Allie!

In my opinion it is wise for the patient to sit in a chair of the same quality as the doctor’s chair.

@@user-2Hteyasizyc who cares
@@SandraLeeWyllie False accusers are sick people. You care enough to look and respond

@@SandraLeeWyllie 80k and still that nose? god damn.
Id like you to cover sexual attraction between patients if at all possible. I might be better equipped to discuss that topic, though.
That is also a relevant topic.
I hope you are doing ok.
