I get what you're saying but I think you could also see it the other way too. I would feel very weird about a therapist I'd been establishing a relationship with asking me if they could put me in a book they're writing. I'd rather know up front that it's a possibility and go from there rather than find out later and then wonder if I'm so strange that even my therapist wants to write about it.
Agree Rad. Being upfront is way better than waiting. If you were uncomfortable with it you would be pissed because you would have wasted time and money.
I think that would be ethical as far as informed consent, though. You address as many considerations as possible up front, before starting therapy. I think it would be more coercive to wait until you have established a relationship...there might be a sense of "well I like my therapist and we have a good relationship, so I don't want to disappoint her by saying no..."
