Legal Mandates for Breaking Confidentiality Sample Clauses

Legal Mandates for Breaking Confidentiality. There are some situations in which therapists are legally obligated to take actions, which they believe are necessary to attempt to protect others from harm even though such actions may reveal some information about a patient’s treatment. These situations include: If the therapist has reasonable cause to believe that a child under 18, known to the therapist in the therapist’s professional capacity, may be an abused child or a neglected child, the law requires that the therapist file a report with the local office of the Department of Children and Family Services. Once such a report is filed, the therapist may be required to provide additional information. If the therapist has reason to believe that an adult over the age of 60 living in a domestic situation has been abused or neglected in the preceding 12 months, the law requires that the therapist file a report with the agency designated to receive such reports by the Department of Aging. Once such a report is filed, the therapist may be required to provide additional information. If you have made a specific threat of violence against another or if your therapist believes that you present a clear, imminent risk of serious physical harm to another, the therapist may be required to disclose information in order to take protective actions. These actions may include notifying the potential victim, contacting the police, or seeking your hospitalization. If the therapist believes that you present a clear, imminent risk of serious physical or mental injury or death to yourself, the therapist may be required to disclose information in order to take protective actions. These actions may include seeking your hospitalization or contacting family members or others who can assist in protecting you.
