Clinical notices from last session: First, concerning this case, I want to treat her as a therapist as opposed to a psychiatrist. |
Therefore, I will treat Iwakura Lain as my client from now on. |
One of the reasons for this is that she is still 12 years old and is emotionally sensitive. |
I do not want to make her feel that she is sick. |
In fact, from the results of her last clinical visit, the extent of what she is troubled from is nightmares and psychological damage associated with it. |
Although during sessions with her, psychological discomfort can be detected, she is able to ask and answer questions without a problem. |
I see no reason to advocate objections to my conclusion that she is sick, but at this point, I would like to treat her as someone without a mental illness. |
One more thing: Because I am both a psychiatrist and a counselor, my job is selecting the best position possible for my patients. |
When counseling her in the future, if I detect symptoms of mental illness, I would have to treat her as a psychiatrist. |
Of course, there’s a good chance that I myself will continue to treat her. |
In order to honor my research and keep it objective, I may want to ask a third party to continue to treat her clinically. |
In the meanwhile, I will continue to work with her in a research setting. |
This may be an exceptional situation at this research center, but I would like to proceed with it. |
