If a psychologist has the same issues as a patient, can that patient receive effective therapy from the psychologist?
A psychologist with personal issues similar to a patient can still provide effective therapy if they maintain professional boundaries, practice self-awareness, prioritize the client’s well-being, and seek support or consultation as needed. Empathy and understanding can be assets but should not overshadow the client’s needs. Ethical considerations and adherence to professional standards are crucial in such situations.
