Do any of your patients regularly get support from psychotherapy message boards? If there are any, are you in support of this or not? Members discuss therapies, problems with therapists/psychiatrists etc.
While I was doing an internet search, I ran into a message board like this. I perused the board, and saw that patients often encourage each other not to bring up certain things to the therapist. In one instance, a woman was very attached to her psychiatrist too the point were she would drive past his house. Sometimes she would park on the same street and just watch his house. She asked if she should tell her psychiatrist what she was doing. Other members encouraged her not to. I didn't think this was very good.
So, I got curious if any of your patients visit these types of boards on a frequent basis. I didn't even know they existed. If you have, what are your thoughts about them?
