FAQ
Counseling is confidential No one outside the Center may access your Counseling and Psychological Services records without your prior written permission or as required by law.
In the APA's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, section 4.05(b) states, “Psychologists disclose confidential information without the consent of the individual only as mandated by law, or where permitted by law for a valid purpose such as to (1) provide needed professional services; (2) obtain ...
Confidentiality and the law It is a legal responsibility because of the principles set by law, which say that professionals have a duty to protect the confidentiality of the people they have a professional relationship with. The law also says how you should keep, handle and disclose information.
The patient "owns" the therapist-patient privilege and must affirm or waive it, and the therapist must then follow their direction. Therefore, a counselor cannot use a client's confidential information to testify unless the client waives their privilege.
Guidelines on How to Explain Confidentiality to a Client Start from the Beginning. Define Confidentiality. Clarify the Exceptions. Emphasize the Trust Factor. Encourage Questions. Reporting Harm to Self or Others. Child Abuse or Neglect. Court Orders.
Confidentiality is an important aspect of counseling. This means that under normal circumstances no one outside the Counseling Center is given any information — even the fact that you have been here — without your expressed written consent.
