58. Dr. Revere’s former supervisor was thumbing through a psychology journal looking for the article the young clinician he was mentoring had written. After finding the article, the supervisor noticed what appeared to be a full-page advertorial highlighting the doctor’s expertise and also clearly indicating how prospective clients could contact him.

  1. Congratulate Dr. Revere on the fine published article and thank him for acknowledging his own contribution as his protégé’s mentor.
  2. Thank Dr. Revere for the mentoring reference, but ask him if there is anything else he would like to say with regard to that portion of the article.
  3. Ask Dr. Revere directly if the full-page insert was an ad, and if so, demand that it be rewritten with that disclosure.
  4. Compliment Dr. Revere on his heretofore unknown ability to promote himself and jokingly ask how much of his paycheck he had to spend on his ad.
