Well, I think IC and MC/FT should be done collaboratively...
I can easily see these two therapists working at cross purposes with the Husband and his marriage (as a couple). Sending a person to ONE Therapist for IC and sending that person as a couple with his wife to a different Therapist where NEITHER therapist communicates with the other is an accident waiting to happen.
I don't know if you were reading ElvenCat's thread but he was giong to IC for schiz and his IC was giving him marriage advice... and not even BOTHERING to talk to his wife at all or even discuss his schiz at all... SHe only spoke to him in private and never ONCE contacted his own wife...
How can you even treat someone for an individual problem like depression, or schizophrenia, or anything wtihout at least ONE SESSION with that person's SPOUSE?
Is that QUALIITY treatment to meet the individual on a regular basis and not even have ONE MEETING with that person's wife? How cna you effectivley treat them when you don't address that person's environment, family, etc... They ARE part of his lifestyle and should be spoken to at LEAST for an HOUR lol
