“Counseling, by its very nature, is value-laden, and the process and results are greatly influenced by both the therapist’s and the client’s worldview. One critical question that must be asked is what to do when there appears to be a conflict of values related to the therapeutic process. How should a treatment provider respond if a client seeks therapy because his or her behavior is incongruent with their deeply held spiritual or religious values, and those values appear to take precedent above all others? Which set of values is more valid? Should the client have the autonomy to make that decision? The ethical answer to the last question is an unequivocal ‘Yes!'” (04/19/26)

“What could be more presidential than Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Fireside Chats? Millions of people, threatened by economic collapse and endangered by world war, huddled around their radios to hear the avuncular FDR speak plain, reassuring words that Americans could rise together and conquer the nation’s challenges. That’s the way FDR’s leadership is remembered, anyway. Forgotten is the way Roosevelt used his radio addresses to spin conspiracy theories.” (04/17/26)

“Among the great many bogeymen of the current moment is social media, which stands accused of making young people anxious and unhappy. Whatever the merits of those charges — and they’re debatable — politicians have predictably tried to address concerns by applying the blunt instrument of coercive law to kids’ online activities rather than simply let parents help their children make better choices. The experience in Australia now shows the subjects of the law have, once again, proven cleverer than law enforcers.” (04/17/26)
