I had an SO who was studying to be a social worker specializing in couples therapy. To my chagrin, she often spent her time psychoanalyzing my behavior.
I guess she decided to go into social work because you might as well get paid to do what you normally do for free.
But seriously, the question of objectivity and professional detachment [or the lack of same] makes it pretty much academic. I'm betting that their insights into their family and friends are no more acute than that of the average layperson.

how many times ON THIS Frickin board has someone told someone else they are this or that condition or need this or that medication (me, I mostly recommend serotonin reuptake inhibitors... as they seem to sooth the soul)....
and let's face it - few are acutally licensed to either make such remarks or offer those Rxs.
but hey, that's life - get over it and get on with your life.
Over the years I've had some friends and family ask my opinion on various issues going on in their lives. Conversely, I've had people apprehensive about talking to me because they were afraid I would "do counseling" on them. Of course, another possibility is that they didn't want to talk to me because they didn't like me. lol
