Why are you so sure?
Professional boundaries in mental health settings are considered critical.
There has to be a clear separation between personal and professional roles.
And the therapist is supposed to have the patient's best interests at heart.
A conflict of interest is anything that gets in the way of that, another relationship, a personal connection, something that means they can't be fully impartial.
Jennifer had two conflicts.
She had a hidden connection to Chloe's family, which Chloe knew nothing about, and she had a personal stake in the situation.
She had had a baby with Chloe's father.
Now, even if, at that stage, she wasn't certain the baby was Lewis's, his paternity must have still been a possibility, so it's still a close connection.
Either of these things might shape her questions to Chloe and influence decisions about her care.
But this wasn't a flu jab.
Before reporting this story, I hadn't realised how fundamental this point is.
Every psychologist and mental health clinician I've spoken to knows this ethical framework inside out.
And every single year, they have to complete refresher training to keep those skills sharp.
It's drilled in.
They all say the same thing.
If the medical records of anyone you know, however tenuously, your parents at the same school, you once worked with their husband, you know their cousin well, comes onto your desk, you report it immediately and recuse yourself.

To Chloe and her family, this sounds a lot like a dismissal.
