About the article, or about NASW's approval?

Here's the article:

http://www.aaskolnick.com/naswmav.htm

I "speculate" that NASW wouldn't have published
his article if they thought it transgressed
NASW's ethical guidelines.

Well, read it for yourself and see if you
think it's an "objective" account of his
experience.  It was published in 1991.

In any case, I don't see any "objective"
qualifier in the guideline, do you?  It just
says *no related writing*.

Gracious, don't ever entertain thoughts that
don't please you, no matter how factual they
are, no matter how contradictory they are to
the ones that do please you!

I don't have a clue.  The requirement seems pretty
ironclad as I read it.  But then again, there was
obviously an exception made for Andrew, so whoever
applies the requirement must have managed to find
one.
