The Shadow is lifting

Long time no blog.

My career has come full circle. I am getting back into private practice. Office politics have taken their toll on me. I can handle the on-call duties, the chronically ill clients and even the paperwork. But, I can't compromise my standards on how one must be treated by colleagues.

I have seen the dark, business side of the mental health field and I don't like it. It takes well-intentioned folk and turns 'em against one another, for the sake of productivity kudos while forsaking humanistic credos.

So what say you fellow bloggers? Are you compromising your integrity, stepping on the necks of your colleagues, in order to get ahead?

There's a great book that tells a familiar tale. "Hope For the Flowers" reminds us that you best be good to the folks you see on your way up the corporate ladder, cause you're going to see those same folks on the way down.
