Based on hundreds of interviews with therapists about their concerns, this book provides a framework and guide for addressing issues of confidentiality. This text meets the increasing obligation practitioners have to protect their patients while protecting their practices. It is a practical and authoritative source that no psychotherapist or clinical supervisor should be without.
