hot brown sugah opens her trap yet again
i've been trying to come up with an ethical dilema that may arise when i see a client. it took me months to think about it but nothing came up. finally, as i was chatting wit my 'dubai boy' i came up with THREE stories! (two of which were thanks to him).
story 1: my client came to see me to come to terms with his past. he used to be a big time drug dealer (to the extend that he has injured quite a number of people because they owed him money). he was responsible for a big scale ecstacy party that resulted in a few OD deaths. the police couldn't get any evidence to convict him and he reamains a free man. this client was remorseful for his actions and has since quit the line of work and had gotten himself a stable deskbound job that he is happy with. the counsellor (that would be me) has issues against drugs, her mother died because of an OD of valium when she (I) was younger and is strongly against the use of drugs. would the counsellor inform the police since they're still looking for the dealer for that ecstacy bash still?
story 2: i am seeing a client, sydney (yes, yes, the city. i'm missing it heaps la). sydney's husband is a notorious gangster and he was suspected to be behind the assasination of a few prominent figures in the society, including my very good friend who was running for a seat in the parliament when he was killed. during the sessions, sydney said that her husband has less than 2 years to live as he has a chronic disease and he is using all his time left to do good (eg: charity funraising, donation, volunteer work, etc). sydney also let it slip that she knows where her husband hid the gun that was used to kill all his victims. the police were never able to convict sydney's husband because of the lack of evidence. the gun that sydney's husband would be the 'grail' of his conviction (i have no idea how i thought of the grail). should i break my confidentiality promise with sydney and help the authoroties convict a killer? a killer who seems remorseful and haas only a short time to live his life meaningfully? dilemma! dilemma!
story 3: sydney suspects her husband of cheating on her. she has proofs like dockets of jewelleries he bought (that wasn't for her, of course), jotted down the timing of odd hour phonecalls he'd receive and etc, etc, etc. sydney is contemplating whether she should save the marriage or end it. Sydney is also wondering if she should confront her husband about his affair, meet up with the other woman or just ignore it. these are the reasons as to why she wanted to see the counsellor. sydney wanted the counsellor to guide her through her decisions. one day, sydney came for a session with a blurred photograph. sydney saw her husband walking arm-in-arm with the other woman. sydney didn't manage to get a good look at the other woman but she was satisfied that she had real hard proof about her husband. sydney showed the photo to the counsellor. to the counsellor's horror, it was HER photo with her fiance that she loved very much and was planning to marry in a year and a half. jeng!jeng!jeng! what should the counsellor do? in one hand, the client's well being was her priority and responsibility. on the other, it was the man of her life. how? how?
guess which story i chose? correct guesses will be rewarded (with a praise). heh!
