Hannah: That is a big idea. It reminds me of having intellectual virtues, particularly possessing a ‘love of truth.’ Clinical “truth” seems to exist in a slightly different space, though. What I mean is that I have observed clinicians to subscribe to a particular clinical approach (and perhaps even philosophy) and apply it to every individual on her caseload. Given the variability among humans, I am skeptical that one clinical strategy could apply to all. So, would continually confronting a strategy better enable a clinician to arrive at a client-specific truth?
