Ethics: Confidentiality and Duty to Protect:

(Special Considerations for HIV/AIDS)

By: Tiffany Chenneville, Ph.D.

2 Credit Hours (CE Credit)

PDF Document - Includes CLE or CE certification test.

Abstract

Mental health professionals are bound by, sometimes competing, ethical and legal standards. In certain situations, ethical standards conflict with one another and, worse, conflict with legal mandates. In these situations, mental health professionals are faced with difficult decisions about how to proceed in order to uphold the ethical standards set forth by their profession while abiding by the law. One of the most important dilemmas faced by mental health professionals, in terms of its potential impact, surrounds the issues of confidentiality and the duty to protect. This already complex issue becomes further confounded when treating patients with HIV/AIDS. In this CE, participants will (a) learn about the ethical and legal standards relevant to the confidentiality and duty to protect dilemma, (b) learn about the relevancy of this dilemma to situations involving HIV/AIDS, and (c) learn about the special considerations to be made when faced with this dilemma.
