worse yet not completing the manuscript? The practice of "bartering" is discouraged.
Bartering occurs when a client exchanges a good or service for treatment or testing
(e.g., I'll paint your car if you provide me with six sessions of therapy). Currently, ethics

the bartering in lieu of the fact that she could not afford the sessions.
