Ronin_3000 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 My therapist mentioned that he has a supervisor who watches tapes of his sessions and critiques them. He doesn't tape our sessions though. I asked if I could see his supervisor as a client, but my therapist said it would violate some kind of therapist code of conduct. What is he talking about? He said he'd explain everything during our next session, but that is a week and a half away since I'm skipping this week. I emailed him asking if this is a rule that applies to all patients or if it has something to do with the content we have discussed. He ignored this question though. What could this be about? Does anyone know what rule in the therapist code of ethics my therapist is referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercurySunlight Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 You might want to look up the HIPAA laws to see the guidelines. I believe the patient must sign a release in order for their therapist to share info. Don't know what the gray areas might be regarding suporvisors, but HIPAA is pretty strict and there are heavy fines for non-compliance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
