[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 736477, member: 18958"] There is a page on the a.p.a. website (Amer. psychiatric. Assoc ) titled confidentiality and minors which is illustratve. The gist is that in the USA the parent who has consented to treatment of the child, holds privilege and is legally entitled to know what is going on The issue is that ethically and clinically, the therapist's interests (and often but not always the child's) are opposed to this. Their preference is to help the adolescent hold and make a boundary and individuate from the parent. Right or wrong, I don't know. [/QUOTE]
