Colorado Mental Health Jurisprudence Practice Exam

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

1. Client's consent

2. Court order or involuntary procedures

3. Family request

4. Insurance company policies

The correct answer is: 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.
