Discuss-confidentiality absolute right afforded to minors


Problem: Neither privacy nor confidentiality is an absolute right afforded to minors (Taylor & Adelman, 1989). Research concurs that minors who are able to give informed consent should be afforded the same confidentiality rights as adults (Belter & Grisso, 1984; Isaacs & Stone, 2001; Ledyard, 1998; Mitchell, Disque, & Robertson, 2002). Research recommends that counselors contemplating breaking confidentiality of minor clients inform them of this and offer them the chance to tell their parents themselves (Lawrence & Robinson Kurpius, 2000; Mitchell et al., 2002). Also, steps need to be taken to repair any damage to the therapeutic relationship that may occur because of this breach (Taylor & Adelman, 1998). Consuela must think about the impact disclosure might have on the counseling relationship and how Dora might be harmed if Consuela discloses the confidential information to her parents.
