| Other Points If you ever become involved in a divorce or custody dispute, I want you to understand and agree that I will not provide evaluations or expert testimony in court. You should hire a different mental health professional for any evaluations or testimony you require. This position is based on two reasons: (1) My statements will be seen as biased in your favor because we have a counseling relationship; and (2) the testimony might affect our counseling relationship, and I must put this relationship first. Doing follow-up and outcome research is always educational. As a professional counselor, I naturally want to know more about how counseling helps people. To understand counseling better, I must collect information about clients before, during, and after counseling. Therefore, I am asking you to help me by filling out some questionnaires about different parts of your life-relationships, changes, concerns, attitudes, and other areas. I ask your permission to take what you wrote on these questionnaires and what I have in my records and use it in research or teaching that I may do in the future. If I ever use the information from your questionnaire, it will always be included with information from many others. Also, your identity will be made completely anonymous. Your name will never be mentioned, and all personal information will be disguised and changed. After the research, teaching, or publishing project is completed all the data used will be destroyed. If, as part of our counseling, you create and provide to me records, notes, artworks, or any other documents or materials, I will return the originals to you at your written request but will retain copies. |
| Sometimes all we need is a listening ear, a helping hand and a caring heart to find balance in our lives. |
