Marriage Counseling Has Its Ups And Downs
Category: Torts For Our Time
There was a snake in the grass in Lake in the Hills. This article in the Chicago Sun-Times defines poor advice in the marriage counseling business.
Husband: Marriage counselor had affair with wifeA McHenry County man is suing his marriage counselor, contending the therapist he hired to help improve his marriage instead began an affair with his wife.
That relationship eventually prompted the couple to divorce, according to the breach-of-contract suit filed by 35-year-old Scott Buetow of Lake in the Hills.
The lawsuit filed by Buetow in McHenry County also accuses Blair -- a state-licensed clinical professional counselor -- of fraud and professional malpractice.
Buetow and his wife began seeing the counselor in April 2004 to "strengthen and stabilize" their 10-year marriage, the suit contends.
While providing both joint counseling and individual therapy sessions to Buetow and his wife, Blair allegedly started a romantic -- and secret -- relationship with Buetow's wife.
Despite the alleged relationship, Blair continued counseling Buetow and worked "to undermine the marriage to his benefit by tendering poor advice," the suit contends.
