In the age of digital communication, it is really easy to have conversations via e-mail. When conducting therapy with clients, it is important to consider that:
  1. E-mail is not considered a “safe” method of communication.
  2. If others were to read the e-mail, even by accident, it could violate privacy laws.
  3. There is no way to guarantee the safety of e-mail communication.
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - D - All of the above things are important to consider when communicating via e-mail. No e-mail communication can be guaranteed to be safe or secure. Information is at risk of interception by others and as a result, could be misinterpreted or used inappropriately against your clients. You may also want to consider federal HIPPA regulations before opening any e-mail discussions.
