i have a friend (NO! its not me) who is getting a little too close to her doctor. he is a PHD psychologists and is seeing her for depression and help with her out of control son. they have developed a friendship and now she wants to divorce her husband saying she was never in love with him! this doctor is into the "hollistic" theory and is a regular hippy. in fact, he is a piligamist with two wifes and is about to have a third this summer. my friend thinks this guy walks on water and is her savior. she spends weekend over there rather than at home with her husband. they have barbeques, drink together, have parties, etc. she spent the holidays with their family instead of her own!!!! i think she is being brainwashed by a "jim jones" wannabe cult leader and he is detroying her life rather than helping her. my gut tells me he has a hidden agenda. where can i find laws on ethically correct practice for doctors? any websites? none of this sounds right and i need proof that it isnt .

Is he still treating her? If so it is rather unethical for him to carry on a relationship with her (if he is). As for illegal, I am not sure, you could however call a lawyer, or ask another doctor.

Legally speaking, you cannot intervene. While it appears to be unethical, you are not a party to what is going on, nor do you have any firsthand knowledge that you could report to any authority. I suggest you let it lie.
