When personal becomes professional..

You are a female psychologist who is helping Miss X overcome her drug addiction and you have been seeing her for almost 6 months now. You are aware that she has had a troubled past and has had an addiction problem for the past 3 years. During her last appointment, you find out that she is on a steady roadto recovery and is coping very well. She tells you that these changes are due to a new man in her life and tells you that he is a 'God-sent angel'. She informs you that all the positive changes in her life are due to him and that she would be shattered if he ever left her. She then shows you a photograph of him an you realize that this man is your ex-partner who has a history of womanising and taking advantage of women at their most vulnerable states. Through your experience with him, you are certain that he will never amend his ways.

Would you tell you client about this man? Chances are that he could have really reformed. However, there is also possibility that he is simply playing with her feelings and that if he did leave her, she would go back to her habit of taking drugs. What would you do?
