It is essential reading for psychologists, social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychiatrists - every professional privy to another person's mental condition.". "In the face of mounting government and business incursions into client privacy, Dr. Woody presents chapter after chapter of practical, working guidelines on handling demands for information and minimizing the risk of legal actions.". "You'll discover the methods government can use to attack confidentiality, how HMO's and other business interests are threatening individual rights, how to create records and reports that can protect you from liability, how to build a supportive relationship with clients, and a discussion of key state and federal court decisions affecting privacy."--BOOK JACKET.
