[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 472749, member: 1514"] Problem is K...that you cannot solely blame a therapist or psychiatrist for the failures of a client. Heck, you cant solely blame a regular doctor for the failure of patient. Can I blame my doctor's because my joint disorders are getting worse and not better even though I am in their care and regularly go to appointments and do everything they say? No. Part of it is the disorder and part of it is me. My bipolar is never going to get totally better or go away. Psychiatrists and therapists can do everything in their power and still have cases that wont have good outcomes. My therapist worked her heart out and had a patient commit suicide. It was certainly not her failure. It was not the lady's failure either...I was friends with her too. It was the illness. This is the difference in this type of board than what you are talking about with professional boards licensing contractors in such things as construction. You can physically see and measure a piece of wood or building. They dont have feelings or emotions. They cant get sick. [/QUOTE]
