Question: 1 / 130

Mandatory disclosure of information is NOT required when psychotherapy is administered pursuant to which circumstance?

Client's consent

Psychotherapy is a confidential process and the therapist must maintain a client's privacy. However, there are certain circumstances where confidentiality may be waived. In this case, the correct answer is A because a client's consent allows the therapist to disclose information without breaking confidentiality. Option B is incorrect because a court order or involuntary procedures can override a client's right to privacy. Option C is incorrect because while family may be involved in the client's treatment, they do not have the authority to waive confidentiality. Option D is incorrect because insurance companies do not have the authority to waive confidentiality without a client's consent.
