(7,8,17,19) Simon (18) argues that a stable fee policy is part of a proper therapeutic frame work, and money is "the only acceptable medium of exchange when receiving payment from patients." Emotional distress and the power differential inherent in treatment might prevent a patient from making an accurate assessment of the value of the bartered goods or services, (7,8,17,18,20) which could lead to future claims of undue influence from trading goods or services below market value.
