Confidentiality in the context of court referrals to mental health professionals.

Abstract
Clients referred by courts and allied agencies present therapists with problems of confidentiality, allegiance, and client deception. These problems may be alleviated by informing clients of limits on confidentiality and by client participation in defining the relationship between therapist and referral institution. Establishment of a treatment-information dichotomy is seen as a means of resolving the therapeutic dilemma.
