Bartering psychotherapy for goods or services has the potential for conflicts as the balance of power between the therapist and the client can be compromised. It can also affect the therapeutic relationship and may not be in the best interest of the client. Some ethical codes do allow for bartering in certain situations, but strict guidelines must be followed to avoid any potential harm to the client.
