Injustice

Whilst there's a great deal of injustice in the world my focus of concern
arose with a counsellor whom I was supervising. The counsellor has
identified passionately with a female client who experienced consistent
sexual harassment but was unable to prove charges against her assailant
with only 'her word against his'

I then identified passionately with both the supervisee and her client. My
concern is that these identifications could interfere with therapeutic and
supervisory processes. Do any PCPers have any comments / guidelines please
?
