Scenario
NadimGroup private practice, Markham
You are a Registered Psychotherapist in a Markham group practice. Nadim Farouk, 36, is suing a condominium after breaking his wrist on its unsalted walkway. His lawyer's letter refers him for depression and post-traumatic stress; the firm will pay pending settlement and wants monthly notes, then a report on diagnosis, causation and prognosis.
At your first session Nadim says, 'My lawyer said you'd keep her in the loop.'
