Contents:
Part I. The ABCs of "conditional confidentiality" : an ethical, legal, and ethical/legal review. Ethical responsibilities about confidentiality -- Laws affecting confidentiality -- Placing laws into ethical context -- Part II. Protecting patients' confidentiality rights with an ethics-based practice model -- Step 1 : preparing -- Step 2 : telling patients the truth about confidentiality's limits -- Step 3 : obtaining truly informed consent before disclosing confidential information voluntarily -- Step 4 : Responding ethically to legal demands for "involuntary" disclosure of patient information -- Step 5 : avoiding preventable breaches of confidentiality -- Step 6 : Talking more about confidentiality : educating each other and the public -- Part III. Practical considerations. Clinical record keeping -- Confidentiality considerations with specific populations -- Confidentiality in specific roles and settings -- Ethics-based staff training about confidentiality.
Summary: Therapists once promised patients ""Everything you tell me will remain in this room."" Today, they can keep that promise only if they are willing to break the laws that now require them to disclose information without patient consent. Most avoid such civil disobedience by placing limits on confidentiality; but ethically speaking, this 'conditional' confidentiality can be difficult to practice. The Ethics of Conditional Confidentiality: A Practice Model for Mental Health Professionals is a guidebook designed to help therapists and other mental health professionals navigate the ethical and legal.
