When should a psychologist formally report an ethical violation?

What will be an ideal response?


When psychologists learn about a potential violation by another psychologist, they must attempt to resolve it informally by bringing the matter to the attention of the other psychologist. This may be done if a resolution appears to be appropriate and the confidentiality rights of a patient or client is not violated. However, if the violation has or is likely to result in harm, an informal resolution is not appropriate. The psychologist would then need to formally report the violation, if it does not violate client confidentiality.
