School-Based Case Study: Confidentiality

A 17-year-old Asian American high school student stops by your counseling office to talk to you about changing her schedule. During your conversation with her, you notice how flat her affect is and how she keeps her head down as she communicates with you. You try to maintain eye contact with her, but she keeps averting your attempts. Besides the flat affect, she also presents with low energy and admits she isn't sleeping well at night. She blames her lack of sleep on her recent low grades and says that is why she needs to change her schedule. She wants you to help her find less demanding classes/teachers so she can get her grades raised.

Points to consider:

Question I. As you continue to talk with her, what additional questions would you want to ask her?
Question II. How would you determine if she is at risk for self-harm?
Question III. Are there possible cultural issues involved?
Question IV. What legal/ethical issues might be part of this scenario?
