PREAMBLE
Based on the fact that Alcohol and Drug Addiction Counseling is a very
stressful job by its own nature, mostly due to the facts and issues that the
addict brings to the Counselor in the counseling session, therefore I strongly
believe that the Counselor does not need unnecessary additional stress from
bullying administrators or supervisors
!n the contrary, a good Administrator or "upervisor shall help in the
reduction of the stress with good supervision and support to help with
difficult cases to avoid the burnout or resignation of counselors# this done in
a professional manner, with respect But because most of the time I did not
receive that professionalism and respect from administrators and supervisors

during my $% years wor&ing as a Counselor, plus as a way to warn and
prevent those interested or new in the field from fall into apathy or do
displacement on the patient or client when they get stress from the
bullying administrators or supervisors, it is that I decided to share with
you my e'perience as a Counselor at my last job at ()* "IC+ )!"I(A-
But if you do not have the s&ills to handle the stress without doing
displacement on the patient or client, then you should start loo&ing for a job
in another field After my e'periences, I am totally convinced that not
everybody can be an Addiction Counselor but the same is true for
Administrators and "upervisors in the field A person can be in the title
because was referred by a politician, family or person.s/ in the chain of
higher administration but most of these $%nnot &e'(o') %s e*&e$te+#(hose
are the wor&ers that will feel fragile and threatened, they will not defend the
client or patient, themselves, nor the profession when upper paychec&collectors who are in a top position start giving them blind orders that they
do &now that sometimes are unprofessional, unethical, illegal or conducive
to fraud But because of the way and manner they got the title .most of the
times do not meet the 0ualifications/ they are inhibited from 0uestioning the
bad orders given to them and then they e'pect that the Counselor regardless
of the illegality comply with the order because it was given by higher
administration It is very rare that a Counselor who has wor&ed or is
wor&ing in a big organi1ation or hospital with many chains of commands
hasn2t gone through this I highly recommend that when the orders are
unethical, unprofessional, illegal or conducive to fraud, yo -%.e to t%/e %
st%n+ %s % P'o(ess0on%1Counselor .or "upervisor, Administrator/ and be
willing and able to address the situation, confront them, refuse to comply
with the wrong doing being as&ed3 (o do this you have to become a ris&
ta&er to deal with the retaliation or you may choose to go along with the
bad orders given and become a robot Counselor, an accomplice in the
wrong doing3 (o give you a real e'ample4 (here is a patient that is not
attending, telephone calls were made, letters were sent, but the patient
refused to attend or did not respond, the Counselor submit the case forclosing but the Administrator of the clinic refused to close it because senses
are low (he Counselor was being forced or coerced to &eep phantom cases

It is a fact that most of the patients or clients that go to a hospital or
program see&ing treatment, e'hibit or carry with them some psychiatric
disturbances and symptoms in addition to their addictive disorder (his could
be pic&ed up by a well trained Counselor who then I suggest that
)e or "he should get oriented by the Diagnostic "tatistic 8anual and itcould serve not only as part of the diagnosis but as a foundation for
treatment But of course, this is assuming that the program is aimed to meet
the needs of the patient, client or customer as opposed to use them %n+ t-e

process I was given a form and re0uested to sign it Because the form stated
that I agree to be hired as a rovisional instead of as a ermanent
wor&er, I decided to sign it but left the effective date space blan& until I
could do further investigation 8y investigation showed that if I accepted to
be hired in such a rovisional capacity they could fire me at any time and I
would have no rights to claim (herefore on the starting date they had
assigned .?%;?;@/ I did not show up because I had a job as ermanent
although the pay was less But they needed to fill the vacant and I met their
re0uirements .e'cept the rovisional capacity or status/ and they called
me at my job to in0uire the reasons for me not to show up to wor& with
them After I e'plained the reason to the Director of the !utpatient
Department of (he "ic& )ospital, later she called me bac& and told me4
Come down, we will hire you as a ermanent wor&er I left my job and
based on the promise of (he "ic& )ospital I started wor&ing with them Butthey &ept the rovisional form that was invalidated by the Initial

such &ind of supervision6 If the person was in that position when you are
hired is one thing, but to compete with that person and you to be found not
0ualified for the position and be put under the supervision of the person
without the re0uired credentials but yet the administration found the
un0ualified applicant the 0ualified one, that is other thing333 I don2t &now

may not believe me, some may even call me a liar, but there are some who
will not do that4 (hose who went through the e'perience and wor&ed or still
wor&ing at (he "ic& )ospital And because this boo& is based on real
e'perience, and I do not &now the impact it may have on innocent wor&ers,

having this name then is not the person acting or described in this boo&)ave fun, enjoy it, but over everything4 -earn from it on how to treat other
