Question
(QUESTION) In what types of situations would you break confidentiality? How can you
prepare clients for the issues pertaining to confidentiality? What can you do to educate clients
about the purpose of confidentiality and the legal restrictions on it? How might this be different
depending on the context (school, group therapy, family counseling, counseling with minors)?
(DIRECTIONS) The initial forum must be a minimum of 400 words. The initial forum
MUST include a response to the forum topic instructions with documentation of factual
information to support opinions, including use of assigned readings in responding to questions,
along with synthesis of information and elaboration on the assigned readings in a focused and
well organized manner, clearly showing that you have made meaning of the material rather than
merely reiterating what a published author or classmate has already stated. Forums are a balance
of professional dialogue style and grounding in scholarly information rather than essay
submissions.
