Privacy and Group Counseling?

Question by John M: Privacy and Group Counseling?
Recently during a court mandated group counseling session, a “therapist” disclosed personal information directly from my medical file to the entire group without my consent. Is this legal or ethical? Specifically, I was asked a question and responded with an answer she clearly didn’t like. She then said: “I’m curious” and then leaned over and picked up her files. After glancing through them she then stated in front of the entire group. “Yes, I see. You’ve been diagnosed as dependent on alcohol”. Needless to say, I was outraged and really let her have it. Should I bother filing a privacy violation complaint, or should I file an ethics complaint with the hospital, or should I just suck it up and be happy that I told her where to go?

I Have Balemic Friend, How Do I Stop Her?

Question by KZ: I Have Balemic Friend, How Do I Stop Her?
Hey, my friends balemic. she told me last night… i am really worried for her. she thinks shes fat… shes not! ur stomach isnt like flat and toned, but shes only 13. and all of her ex bfs told her she was fat, just cuz they felt like being jack asses. and of course, i gave them all one black eye. anyway, how can i help her stop?

Best answer:

Answer by …Meh!…
As she is only 13, i suggest you tell an adult, maybe not her mum or dad, maybe just an adult you trust or a teacher who you know will be supportive, there is nothing you can really do to stop her, you just need to get her some help asap.

Good luck x

Talk to a school counselor first. Just talk with him or her for a while and they will suggest if you need counseling outside of school. And if you want they will tlak to your parents about it for you.

Therapy vs Counseling.?

Question by john: Therapy VS counseling.?
Is there a difference between therapy and counseling. I’m just wondering.

Best answer:

Answer by Martell
Not in my mind–but some may see it as helping a client deal with more surface social issues in his/her life; while “therapy” could apply to in-depth psychological issues, such a early childhood issues, etc. Therapy could also pertain to psychiatric therapy which could involve medication by a psychiatrist–who is both a medical doctor and psychiatric doctor helping the patient work through deeper–maybe life-endangering issues.
