I’m no lawyer, but to me they are hitting the wrong points here. It doesn’t matter if he feels guilty about the way the trade went. It doesn’t matter how much money he lost his client, it doesn’t matter if he took risks and lost. The issue at hand is whether or not the client was aware of what he was doing. That’s the issue I would have pressed the therapist for which would have allowed her to maintain her integrity and dignity. Ask her, did he ever admit to you of withholding information from the other party? If she says no, then problem solved. Because he can feel guilty all he wants about maybe making the wrong move, but as long as he had the approval of the client when he made those moves he can’t be charged.

At the point when he found out his girlfriend was the counselor, it became conflict of interest. He should have resigned. A bar would take him apart for that. Even though he acted in his clients best interest, that should not have been allowed.

She was NOT his girlfriend at the time, she was his therapist.

[@ClamantesDaemonium]

​@@nasruddin5146 and every bone in my body is protesting the absolute nonsense scenario of WILLINGLY BEING YOUR EX-PARTNERS THERAPIST, that's a factor no one seems to be mentioning? She should never have seen him in an office setting, ever. She should have immediately but politely redirected him to another mental health professional. Rule One, doctors aren't friends. You can be a doctor, or you can be their friend, but you can't ethically be both. If they started dating after he was her patient that's possibly WORSE and changes nothing as far as I'm concerned. This doc ought to be outta work, and not for the waiver release nonsense.

[@jodydelaney3323]

So by undermining her he protected her client that she felt bad she was being forced to work against, thereby saving the guy she wanted to save, which saved her without forcing her to lie and violate ethics but in doing so it undercut her ego. So really her ego and pride meant more than the right thing or the guy going to prison.

[@howardtreesong4860]

When you saw the waiver you could read through the first page to see the rest of the form and it's a continuation of the waiver form, not some random piece of fluff because 'nobody's going to see it anyway'. They took care to get the detail right. Saw the entire series, loved every bit of it.

[@Josh-99]

No therapist in their right mind would have given the testimony that she did. She didn't even use the LANGUAGE of therapy in her testimony, which shows an obvious gap in the skills of the people who wrote the show. Any competent therapist would have been talking about the feeling and emotions of their client, not their words, because the words themselves are not important. In response to the pivotal question about how the client described his feelings about the massive loss, any decent therapist would have responded along the lines of "It's not my job to tell my client -- or you -- how my client felt at that moment in terms of specific emotional states. Trying to do so is foolish, and you're asking the entirely wrong question. My client came to speak with me to work through the difficult situation that he found himself in and how he could cope with the stress it placed on him so that he could get back to being fully functional in both his personal and private life."

[@Elisa-gn5nj]

I don't know what to make of her testimony, but the writers have been giving us all the clues about Paula's character since Harvey's therapy session. She is unethical, selfish, hypocritical and not very intelligent. These attributes are put behind a beautiful face with a bright smile and a calm voice. Unfortunately, most do not see beyond her external appearance and appreciate her only for her physical qualities

[@NotChefCook]

Hot take. Having a therapist to open up to and help with mental issues and them being, by law, required to keep the conversations a secret, but then being able to just openly talk about it makes the therapist a liability that you shouldn´t rely on.

[@lolipedofin]

I don't get how theraphy works in US... But I thought therapy sessions are always confidential, and the confidentiality is sacred, with the sole exception of the abuse involving dependents like minor or elderlies by said clients. If she is not compelled by that and still testify nonetheless, isn't it fair game then for Harvey to break his promise to keep secret?

[@matthewbrewer1741]

In this case, the company paid for the therapist, and the patient signed a waiver of that confidentiality in order for the company to pay for it.

[@lolipedofin]

@@matthewbrewer1741 The ethics in the company using it in a lawsuit against the patient tho. Surely there is a way for the patient's counsel or the court itself to stop the therapist from testifying. Also is the guy poor or something?? If you want to talk about work while sharing things that the company can use against you on court... Isn't it prudent to do that with a therapist out of your own pocket??? I know rich people can be surprisingly cheap, but sheesh.

[@andreewert1142]

not in the land of the free where non-disclosure agreements, employment contracts or therapy contracts with the corporations trump any ethical questions, of privacy or real confidentiality for the underlings.

[@matthewbrewer1741]

That's something Harvey notes about how dumb it is to talk about work with a therapist hired by your work that you signed a waiver allowing them to testify if needed.

[@bryanwoods3373]

I think we can relate the Depp/Heard case to this. It can be argued that her testimony is tainted because she works for the company. It creates a conflict of interest due to risk of retaliation. As far as why the company provides one, the job is very stressful and involves a lot of insider knowledge. As the clip illustrates, the way they have it set up makes it very predatory and rife for abuse. If they were being altruistic about the service, they would have some kind of buffer. At the least, probably not have the release authorization requirement to use the service.

Wich shows you she is unfit for her profession. Not mentioning the fact her phrasing gave the company this option in the first place. If she would have prooerly written out how he may FEEL guilty but apparantly has done nlthing or at least not admitted to have done anything worthy of guilt. But thats how dramas are written, you want as much drama and tension as possible.
