Art/Literary - Psychology / Ethics
Spanish term or phrase: poner en serie
En este intercambio, se podría identificar un primer punto de interés ético, en cuanto la norma deontológica que rige la práctica clínica. Al *poner en serie* su tratamiento con xxxx con su relación amorosa, ¿no estaría la Dra. xxxx frente a un conflicto personal que podría estar influyendo en su práctica clínica?

Explanation:
Hi Eileen, I hope you are fine. You know, in Psychology we have something called "series" that is a way to order aspects of the life, for instance the series of affects, the work related, etc. But in this context, I think it refers to do something at the same time of other thing, like to overlap two things that trigger in an unethical behaviour as a result. Please let me know if you agree or send me a bit of more context and I might lend you a hand better.

Thank you,

Saludos,

Ximena.

Hola Eileen, como estás? Que amorosa, como me mandaste el contexto, mirá me parece que aquí se refiere simplemente a que las dos cosas están sucediendo simultaneamente y que evidentemente existe un conflicto no explicitado directamente al respecto.

Estuve viendo códigos deontológicos de diferentes paises ( Uruguay, Argentina y España) y en ninguno figura la palabra “serie” textualmente. Por eso creo en cuanto a traducción, creo que el término mas adecuado es ese, simultaneously o alguno que se refiera a algo que sucede paralelamente. Espero te ayude, saludos y un gusto. Ximena.

by mixing work - treating him - with pleasure - her affair with him


Explanation:
The common expression is "to mix work with pleasure". I think that might provide a more idiomatic rendering, although admittedly the original has a more technical feel and eschews the verb "mezclar".

that should read "their affair", not "her affair with him"

Explanation:
Awkward!

This might work? Dunno if I'm overstepping the mark with the 'affair' though?

At any rate, I hope it helps.

Suerte :)

Hi Eileen,

The Sopranos! Ha, and there was me thinking I was overstepping the mark with ‘affair’... I have to say, I was a little confused with the Art/Literary - Psychology/Ethics categories earlier...

I think hjs45 is spot on in thinking it’s the “mixing business with pleasure” ethic at play here. I was toying with ‘juggling’, 'intertwining', 'intermingling' or simply ‘mixing’, when I first looked at this earlier; perhaps one of these would work?

One idea:

By juggling her [new-found] relationship with treating Tony again, was Dr. Melfi not just creating a personal conflict that could...

Example sentence(s):
  • ...By having an affair with XXXX while treating him, was Dr YYYY not prompting a personal conflict that could influence her clinical practices?

Asker: Hey James, thanks for your suggestion - I see now that I should have offered more background info - I sent a note to Ximena explaining the 'circumstances' better - Maybe you can come up with something brilliant :)

Asker: Thanks James, but somehow it doesn't seem to work ... but all these suggestions have helped me :) thanks :)

Notes to answerer
Asker: A first scene shows Dr. Melfi preparing dinner with her husband, Richard LaPenna, also a psychiatrist, with whom she has recently renewed a relationship after a long separation. In view of Dr. LaPenna’s concern after the fact that she has accepted to take on Soprano as a patient again, Dr. Melfi replies: “I also accepted you again as a partner.” This comment provokes the following answer from LaPenna, “I have not been indifferent to the fact that you have taken him on as a patient at the same time as we started living together again”. As you can see, it refers to a scene from The Sopranos. Nothing has happeed between Dr Melfi and Tony Soprano - her patient - however there is a 'tension' between them that ... :) I hope this helps to give you to help me :)

Asker: ...helps you help me, I meant :)

Asker: Muchísimas gracias Ximena me ayudaste un montón. :)
