Does a psychologist have the right to comment on your sexual orientation, religious views or your view on sexuality? Even if some of those are rather radical?
Feb 13, 2013

Dr. Mona Sabra Obstetrics & Gynecology
A therapist does not have the right to judge a client for his sexual orienration or thoughts. Nevertheless, it is his duty to mention and remind the law to his client if these ideas are against current laws (like pedophilia for example). In Lebanon, it's more complicated as laws are not evolving with the evolution of society and human rights. And homosexuality is still considered against law. But I am sure all therapist are aware that this is not a law abdiction.
