According to exceptions, when is a mandatory disclosure NOT required if administered by an unlicensed psychotherapist?

  1. In a hospital licensed under section 25-1.5-103 (1)(a)(I) or (1)(a)(II)

  2. In a community clinic

  3. In a private facility

  4. In a home setting

The correct answer is: In a hospital licensed under section 25-1.5-103 (1)(a)(I) or (1)(a)(II)

A mandatory disclosure is not required if administered by an unlicensed psychotherapist in a hospital licensed under section 25-1.5-103 (1)(a)(I) or (1)(a)(II). This is because hospitals are considered a controlled environment where a patient's confidentiality can be maintained even without an unlicensed psychotherapist adhering to mandatory disclosure laws. On the other hand, options B, C, and D do require a mandatory disclosure if administered by an unlicensed psychotherapist as these settings are not considered controlled environments and therefore the patient's confidentiality cannot be guaranteed without adhering to mandatory disclosure laws.
