If specific legal exceptions arise during therapy, what must a psychotherapist do regarding the mandatory disclosure?

  1. Immediately terminate the therapy

  2. Identify the legal exceptions to the client

  3. Ignore the exceptions until further notice

  4. Keep practicing without mentioning the exceptions

The correct answer is: Immediately terminate the therapy

If specific legal exceptions arise during therapy, the psychotherapist is required by law to immediately terminate the therapy. This is because continuing the therapy may put the client and/or therapist at risk of legal consequences. Option B is incorrect because the psychotherapist should not disclose the exceptions to the client in order to protect their privacy and confidentiality. Option C is incorrect because the psychotherapist cannot overlook or ignore legal exceptions. Option D is incorrect because the psychotherapist should not continue practicing without addressing the legal exceptions.
