Abstract
Increasing concern with the problem of confidentiality has prompted the authors to examine factors associated with the handling of confidentiality among a sample of psychiatrists, psychologists, and internists. Significant differences were found among the three groups of clinicians. The nature of professional training and the predominant approach to treatment were found to be related to attitudes toward confidentiality, as was previous professional experience with socially threatening behavior. Implications of the findings are discussed.Keywords
