Unless it is either impossible or contraindicated, at what point in therapy is the psychologist required to discuss the subject of confidentiality with a client?
  1. Before treatment begins.
  2. Early in treatment, as soon as the client shows evidence of being open to receiving help.
  3. As soon as the subject of confidentiality is brought up by the client.
  4. At the conclusion of treatment.
Explanation
Answer: A - Unless it is either impossible or contraindicated, psychologists are required to discuss the subject of confidentiality with a client at the outset-before commencing therapy. In order for the therapeutic process to work, it is essential for the client to be able to trust the therapist. Therefore, both the policy and limitations of confidentiality must be clearly delineated at the outset.
