Featured
Articles:
Many
experienced clinicians in Washington don’t understand the basic
difference between Privilege and Confidentiality.
Of course, that’s understandable, since the Washington
State Legislature - the people who make the laws - get the terms
mixed up themselves.
It
is probably many a therapist’s worst nightmare to find a couple
they have worked with descend into an acrimonious divorce and
then be required to give testimony about these clients.
As
they used to tell us in high school, “compare and contrast”
these two views from the bench about psychotherapy.
Additional
Articles by Joseph Shaub:

The
Client’s Divorce (Washington State Bar News, April, 1999)

the divorce process from the client’s perspective and suggests
approaches by Family Lawyers to better address clients’
concerns.

The
Process of Divorce
(For
King County Continuing Education Program, November 1999)
There
are many different kinds of divorce.
There is the legal divorce, that lawyers handle,
but there are also the psychological divorce, the social
divorce, the co-parental divorce, etc.
This material briefly describes the various processes.

The
Healing Path of Mediation (The Jewish
Transcript, April, 2001)
This
is a brief article that discusses why mediation is a far
superior method of resolving divorce disputes than the adversarial
process of litigation.
It is written in the context of the Jewish Family
Services Mediation Program which I assisted in developing.
