I don't think it is good for a psychiatrist to curse, especially in the settings most of us work in(inpatient, medmgt, or even semi reg therapy with med mgt), at least with real curse words. Now for the one psych out of a thousand who sees a pt for 4 hrs per week and really really really knows the, maybe.
Someone else mentioned that a pt cursing may feel the psych is being empathetic or trying to bond with the by cursing, but more likely than this the pt will just feel the psych is being phony.
I mean really- if you feel like you need to use the f word to connect with pts, you should really work on connecting with pts.
