Hi Bill and Dr. L
Here I go again--off the wall questions about things. It just occurred to me
that if evidence such as diaries, computer files, etc. are admissible as
evidence than is that going to affect one of the counseling tools that are
often used to assist clients in coming to terms with their anger, past abuse
issues, etc. Journaling, writing poetry or stories is a very effective and
popular therapy tool. However, if courts are going to allow this type of
material to enter as evidence--then what?? Just a thought.
