[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The above posters are correct. The only time a therapist may break confidentiality is if the teen is suicidal or a danger to others. [/quote] Nope. There are three major areas to which confidentiality does not apply: -Danger to self or others -Potential harm to a child or vulnerable adult -Certain legal situations It's unlikely that drug/alcohol use would fall under these criteria. I'd like to think the therapist in question has the judgment to determine when it could become an issue requiring disclosure. Those situations aren't common, but the blanket "I don't tell..." isn't ideal.[/quote]
