"Find an article in a
local newspaper where someone has been involved in a dual relationship.
Explain what kind of dual relationship the person was involved in.
Describe how it could have been avoided. Provide the URL of the article
in the posting."
I really wanted to go extreme with my last post for
this class because for the most part everything I have seen on dual
relationships have been from a negative standing Well today while
seeking my article, I found a title and section of the article that
read:
Furyk still learns from his most-valued teacher
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, PA - Jun 16, 2007
The
lines between the two have been blurred for years, but it is clear the
dual relationships have worked. Jim Furyk is the third-ranked player in
the world ...
WOW
that really it home and went along with NOSHE statement 6 where it
talks about sometimes entering a role of dual relationship like when it
can benefit the client/can't be avoided type thing...
Ok
well I jumped right on over to the article which was found at :
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/s_513028.html and
After opening the article I was saddened to find that not only was these
guys coach and player but also father and son. Obviously this wasn't
what I thought it was, However thinking about this I began to realize
that the fact that these two men are father and son really has no baring
on my post. the point is that they were coach and player and that they
still maintain a strong relationship. This is not out of the ordinary
matter a fact many children who grow up in sports grow attachments to
their coaches especially when the coaches are like the one in the story
and coach the teams as their own children grow. Is this not a
dual-relationship in a positive light? These men/women grow to know
these kids as if they were their own, they nurture them, laugh with
them, cry with them and love them. Some coaches have even been known to
stand in on parents nights for kids that are missing a parent. To those
kids the coach becomes a missing link and a mentor, which all children
need.
(My own
daughter loves her basketball coaches more than life, this was her 1st
year and she is looking forward to two more years w/ Tim and Jennifer
before moving on to Jr. High... and believe me Those two coaches are
like parents they don't take no crap they hug the blues and scold the
drama)
