Confidentiality and Practice
After reading the chapter in your textbook about confidentiality, in your initial post discuss the differences between confidentiality, privileged communication, and the right to privacy. Provide one example of a situation that illustrates each of these concepts. Include references to one or more professional codes of ethics that apply to the concepts. Discuss the limits of confidentiality when there is a potential threat of harm to self or others, and how these limitations are communicated to a client.
