One on which therapists don't seem to have much to say (strange do you think?) I can't think of a situation where it would be appropriate for a therapist to override a client's wishes but I can think of times when it would be appropriate to not comply, if you see what I mean. After all adults are surely entitled to disagree. And it may be important to know that an intimate relationship can survive disagreements. Thanks Sarah, a clear article on a very important topic.
