Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Law & Ethics

Therapists who make warnings to the police and to intended victims of crimes in order to prevent the crimes from taking place are:
  1. Granted immunity during any trial or proceeding
  2. Questioned in relationship to the case
  3. Released without further incident
  4. Held responsible, no matter what
Explanation
Answer - A - For so many, there are concerns about retaliation, or what could happen if they testify re: their license and privilege. In almost every case, the therapist who discharges their duty to warn, and has done so properly, is granted immunity during any proceeding from a later prosecution from their current clients.
