I encountered an issue during my clinical practicum where a patient's wife insisted on attending her husband's sessions. I found this a bit awkward and believed that it would have been counterproductive to have the patient's wife present during treatment (many of his issues related to his marriage). My question is, do you have a particular policy on allowing significant others in treatment sessions? I know that some therapists will almost always permit this if the patient requests it, and also many therapist's have a policy refusing to allow third party presence in individual session. Any thoughts?
