Document Summary

Two professions have more protections than psychologists: If someone"s life isn"t in danger then we keep it confidential. Duty to warn- the professional responsibility to inform those in danger: balanced by right to confidentiality, ex: tarasoff vs. regents of the university of california. If you are a therapist your clients should only be your clients. Is to obtain this when you live in bigger towns. Example of violation of multiple roles: prison makes therapists work as therapists and prison guards: no sudden termination without referral. If going to terminate a client offer a referral (like to another therapist: can"t force treatments on people. Only force treatments if they are a danger to themselves or someone/something else. People suffer because of this: practice within your area of expertise. Judge yourself on what you think your area of expertise is: do not have sex with clients. At least for 2 years after they have finished therapy.
