Description

Confidentiality: Ethical Perspectives and Clinical Dilemmas explores the complex relationship between confidentiality and psychoanalytic treatment. The contributors examine the ethical, legal, and clinical implications of maintaining confidentiality in a therapeutic setting. The need for confidentiality is central to debates within the psychotherapeutic literature about theory and practice. This collection provides a framework for shaping a set of ethical principles specifically adapted to the psychotherapeutic relationship. By probing the nature of confidentiality, the contributors respond to a professional crisis in the field of mental health. This book offers a nuanced exploration of confidentiality's role in the psychoanalytic profession, its implications for caregivers and society, and its relevance to ongoing debates within the psychotherapeutic literature.
