The word unilaterally has appeared in 215 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Dec. 15 in “New York City Is Offering Free Online Therapy to Teens: Will It Work?” by Ellen Barry and Christina Caron:
The city has entered a three-year, $26 million contract with Talkspace, one of the largest digital mental health care providers. After a parent or legal guardian signs a consent form, teenagers can exchange unlimited messages with an assigned therapist and receive one 30-minute virtual therapy session each month.
… In March, a school administrator, Naomi Weizman, filed a class-action lawsuit against Talkspace in a federal court in California, charging that the company “creates the false impression that Talkspace has a large enough network of therapists to meet demand,” and then unilaterally enrolls clients in automatically renewing payment plans.
