CONFIDENTIALITY ISSUES
Patient confidentiality is not absolute (e.g., imminent self-harm or danger to others, suspected child or elder abuse, court order to release information). This is especially true in the treatment of children and adolescents. Quite understandably, many parents/caretakers want to know what transpired in psychotherapy or medication management sessions. However, some degree of confidentiality is essential in order to develop a therapeutic alliance with patients (particularly adolescents). This alliance subsequently improves the quality of their psychiatric care. Therefore, Dr. Wiita will use his clinical judgment in deciding whether and when to relay information to parents that has been revealed to him by patients. In most cases, if Dr. Wiita feels information needs to be communicated to parents, he will encourage the patient to do it themselves. In clinically urgent or emergent situations, Dr. Wiita may relay the information to parents directly.
