“How far is friendship really from that special type of trust, intimacy, and closeness with clients that we call, rather dryly, the therapeutic relationship?”

Alicia’s latest article “I Want to Be My Clients Friend: A Taboo Longing in the Therapy Room” expands on her own desires for friendship, uncertainty, saying goodbye, and more.
