Discuss the concept of "confidentiality," and how this requirement differs for the forensic practitioner
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The answer should address the importance and legal necessity of confidentiality in the traditional therapist-patient relationship, and how it is less of a factor in the forensic realm since the client is oftentimes the court system or the prison, as opposed to the suspect. All results of forensic evaluations are eventually delivered to the Court, and may be testified to by the practitioner.
