Other Therapy Docs and Marital-TX

I went hunting for other therapy doc blogs and found this story.
It's a short post by James F on Gather.com. Here it is:

Freudian Slip-cover
by James F.

I was nervous; never been in therapy before. The diplomas on the wall intimidated me. Assuming humor to be a good ice-breaker, I said, "So, Doc, ever been on this couch yourself?" He slammed down his pen and snarled, "We are here to talk about your marital problems, not mine."

There were a few comments from his readers putting down a fellow doc of the cloth, and rightly so. The doc's proper response should have been to flip his pen upwards and back, preferably with a little spin, not to slam it on the desk. Slamming a pen is very unprofessional, I feel.

Thanks James,
