According to Corey, Corey, and Corey (2019), mental health professionals are required by their ethics codes to disclose to clients the risks, benefits, and alternatives to proposed treatment. The intent of an informed consent document is to define boundaries and clarify the nature of the basic counseling relationship between the counselor and the client. According to Corey, Corey, and Corey (2019), it is a mistake to overwhelm clients with too much detailed information at once. Therapists can inform the client with information about the informed consent form in moderation during each session. As, a therapist, I would introduce confidentiality in the first session regardless of any circumstances that may be present. The information presented may seem foreign to clients, so I would provide the information in the simplest terms as possible to ensure that it is understandable. Therapists should give the client the opportunity to raise questions as well. This approach will ensure that clients understand their rights without feeling overwhelmed. According to Corey, Corey, and Corey (2019), clients must be informed and educated about matters pertaining to confidentiality, privileged communication, and privacy. Clients should be aware that confidentiality may be compromised. The therapists should explain to the client how certain information will be used and whether it will be given to third parties. Discussing the purposes of confidentiality and legal restrictions would be like providing the informed consent. According to Corey, Corey, and Corey (2019), the first step in the six-step ethical practice model for protecting confidentiality rights that places legal mandates in an ethical context is preparation. To inform your clients about the limits of confidentiality, you must understand the limits yourself. I would educate clients about the purpose of confidentiality and legal requirements by providing explanations in the simplest terms and document the discussion. I would provide scenarios to clarify where the law requires a therapist to break confidentiality. Clients should have an opportunity to address any questions and the limits of confidentiality should be shared when necessary.
