Which court case might a counselor turn to in the even that they have a counselor who expresses a desire to harm others?
a. Bogust v. Iverson because this court case clearly stated that a counselor with a doctoral degree could not be held liable for the suicide of a client because the counselor is merely a teacher. This generalizes to homicidal threats as well.
b. Weldon v. Virginia State Board of Psychologists Examiners because the judgment in this case was that counselors are distinct from psychologists and therefore are not bound by duty to warn and protect statutes.
c. Tarasoff v. Board of Regents of the University of California because, in this case, the court ruled that therapists have a duty to protect the public that overrides any obligation to maintain client confidentiality.
d. Jaffe v. Redmond because, in this case, the court ruled that communications between licensed psychotherapists and their patients are privileged and do not have to be disclosed in cases held in federal court.
