Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Law & Ethics

You are being called to testify in a court of law. When you receive your summons, the first thing you are ethically obligated to do is:
  1. Exert privilege on behalf of your client
  2. Find a lawyer who specializes in psychotherapy practice
  3. Refuse all testimony
  4. Comply with all orders to testify
Explanation
Answer - A - Exerting privilege is always something that could benefit the client, so that in the event that your testimony may not add as much to the case of either party, that it keeps as much of the private record protected as possible. For many, this is why they keep scarce notes, but it is always better to have a plan than not.
