A psychologist has been seeing a client for a driving phobia following a traffic
accident where he was the driver. During the course of therapy the client
discloses that he was a victim of bullying in the workplace and that he has
submitted a Workcover claim. The psychologist receives a valid subpoena to
provide all the records for this client. The subpoena was initiated by legal
representatives of the alleged perpetrator of the bullying.
A. The psychologist is not obliged to release the records as client records are
subject to professional privilege
B. Release only information about the client that the psychologist judges to be
in the client's best interests
C. Release a summary of the client records but retain a more detailed set of
notes collected during therapy sessions
D. Release all information that is requested as there is no professional privilege
in this situation
E. Refuse to release the client records bec Answer - D. Release all information
that is requested as there is no professional privilege in this situation
A is not the most appropriate response as psychologists are obliged to provide
access to records if required by a valid subpoena. Professional privilege does
not apply to Psychologists. B is not the most appropriate response as you must
release all your client records as stipulated in the a valid subpoena. C is not the
most appropriate response as you must release all your client records as
required by subpoena. D is the most appropriate response as information
gathered in the course of a psychological service is not subject to professional
privilege. You are required to release all information specified in a valid
, subpoena. This is one of the cases where a legal obligation overrides the
normal protection of confidentiality of client records. E is not the most
appropriate response as legal obligations such as a valid subpoena override
normal confidentiality requirements.
A psychologist works in a multidisciplinary practice where all practitioners
frequently refer clients to each other. One of the practitioners tells the
psychologist that she is having increasing problems which are impacting on her
work performance. She asks if the psychologist would take her on as a client.
What is the psychologist's most appropriate response to this request?
A. Advise the practitioner of the contact details of other local psychologists
B. Accept the practitioner as a client and develop a treatment plan together
C. Advise the practitioner to take time off work to lessen her anxiety
D. Accept the practitioner as a client but find another venue for treatment
E. Advise the practitioner to obtain consent from her manager first Answer - A.
Advise the practitioner of the contact details of other local psychologists
A is the best course of action because by suggesting other local psychologists
you are able to maintain appropriate professional boundaries and refrain from
creating a dual relationship. B is not the best course of action because you
should refrain from developing dual relationships where it may be difficult to
maintain professional boundaries. C is not the best course of action because by
providing such advice you may risk putting yourself in a psychologist-client
relationship with your colleague and risk blurring boundaries by entering into a
dual relationship. D is not the best course of action because you should avoid
dual relationships with a potential client irrespective of the venue for
treatment. E is not the best course of action as her manager's consent is not
required in assisting the practitioner to seek appropriate help.
