Confidentiality
All information is treated as strictly confidential and will only be released to others (including family members) with the client’s (preferably written) permission/ consent.
However, in some situations confidentiality may not be ensured. For example, if it is thought that there may be an imminent risk to the client's safety (e.g., a suicidal client) or a risk to others (e.g., a client expresses homicidal intentions) or the psychologist is ordered to disclose confidential information in a court of law. It may be necessary to share some information with others in such circumstances to ensure the client’s safety and appropriate treatment, and/or the safety of others, and/or for the psychologist to conform to the law.
