This is a wonderful article from the Washington Post on the ethical issues of social media for therapists. Among other valuable issues the article raises is the simple question of whether therapists should have a Facebook page. The article notes how the impact of seeing pictures of their therapist could impact the client. A notable and powerful issue it raises cites an example where the therapist is forwarded a suicidal email and blog posting from a concerned friend of the clients. Should the therapist read the blog?
