Case A: Candid

Tom Candid, who needed only to complete his dissertation, applied for an internship in a private group practice. One of the members located Candid’s personal website and discovered that he posted his life story in intimate detail, noting “I do not believe in ever holding anything back about myself.” Candid’s application was rejected because the group was concerned that his boundaries may be too loose causing potential problems with inappropriate disclosures to his clients placing the entire group at risk.
