Hi Squiggles.
first let me say that, personally i do not think that psychotherapy is for everyone. i personally want help...i want someone to guide me through this emotional mine field that has built up in me over many...many years. that's what i have chosen to do. someone that has experience (yet no emotional experience of what i'm been/going through). like when i break a leg...ya it's great to talk with others who have broken a leg, but i want a doctor to set it, cast it and tell me what i need to do to let it heal. to me that's how i see my T and what she does for me.
Now, about your question, (i hope i am understanding your question right)
i think that at some level everyone knows what is wrong in their life, however, sometimes it takes the right person to poke and prod to get you to realize it. (to have that A-HA moment.
if it is criminal, if you or someone is currently in danger they are obligated to report it, however if it is a past crime...i'm not sure what the rules are... as far as the disease, i don't see how they could 'dx' it as they are not physicians, if they feel we need meds in my experience they would Recommend a pdoc or state that they feel medications would assist in ''recovery'...
i think what i'm saying here is any T worth their 2c would refer out beyond their scope...even if within the genre of therapy.does self-realization through psychoanalysis get you anywhere?? that depend solely on the person. some hear the truth and go about like before...other's it helps to change their lives.
same as philosophy, some people think deep and it changes them...others hear it, and go on...Personally, i wish everyone would reflect on self-realization whether through psychoanalysis or not...but that is not the case...we see this VERY often with our 'abusers'...they are given the torch of enlightenment, and instead of seeing it to change or alter their lives...they ignore it...or snuff it out because it is too bright.
i'm not sure if i totally reached your point...but that is my 2c.
FWIWb2c.
