Rob, I take your point. For the split plan to work, at the least
there would have to be two websites connected by nothing more than a
link, and maybe even two groups, although we need to think that
through some more. Maybe the best course after all would be to bite
the bullet, create an NPC, and buy some insurance. I really don't
know how much it would cost, but if malpractice insurance rates are
any guide, I pay about $900 per year as a PhD psychologist, but the
masters' level people who practice under my supervision pay $3-400.
There are many more lawsuits against therapists than against BF
equipment manufacturers, so I would think that the product liability
ins. might actually be cheaper than malpractice ins.
I want to repeat my point, though, that the machine would be useful
for a variety of purposes even without the BF software, so I think
there is really no ethical problem with dividing the machine from the
SW, and this is really not just a thin veil of trickery.
