Reference no: EM133483723

Assignment:

Make an argument reflecting your position on cases such as Tarasoff, in which a therapist or other mental health professional is told by a patient, in confidence, about that patient's desire or intent to harm another person. Based on your understanding of the rule of confidentiality, its role in the professional-patient relationship, and the principles it reflects, along with other principles or rules that may possibly be used to justify its being overridden, do you think that it should be obligatory for a therapist or other professional to report a patient's threats to authorities and/or to the person against whom the threats have been made? Should it be permitted, if not obligatory? Should it be forbidden? Why?
