So when you say that they
will only inform me of details of something if it could or is harming

her,
you're meaning (obviously if something is currently happening that I need

to
be made aware of) if she is planning on doing


Actually... that would be unethical. It isn't done. A therapist could
have his/her license yanked for it.

Yeah, patient confidentiality is something that EVERY professional
practices, otherwise they wouldn't be holding their job very long at all.
That might be a good reason, if this is something you fear (Daniel), to get
a reference as to someone who has an even better than good reputation.

Default privy to information?

This is a good topic of discussion. I think that in certain situations,
criminal acts can be reported if they are going to do it. I know that no one
is privy to the information a victim tells me unless they are dead. What about
priests etc?

A therapist I went to called the Dept. of Social Services to report abuse.
By law, the therapist had to, and pointed that out to me. But, this is in
Massachusetts. I don't know about the laws in other states.

The therapist's responsibility is to the patient. If the patient is a
"danger to self or others" there's a procedure to follow.

Hi Joelle

Hang in there, because YOU have the right idea - so many parents who "have a
talk" with their kids (or their partner) in reality just have a "this is why I
am right and you are wrong" session that only serves to let their child know
that the parent is really only interested in justifying their own view.

As you so rightly point out, while the child may "agree" with the parent during
one of these sessions, it is generally a 'forced' agreement where disagreeing
is labled as stupid or imature or 'not loving' the parent etc and agreement
with the parent is seen as 'coming to ones senses' or such.

What these sessions actually accomplish is to teach the child to shut up and
keep their ideas to themselves.

Okay. Well then if your goal was for her to let you know that she knows how
wrong she is, you were successful. Congratulations.
