Mary had therapy sessions. She found out that the psychologist sent copies of her case notes to the insurance carrier responsible for reimbursement and that therapist should not have revealed this information. Client reported psychologist to the APA Ethics Committee for violating confidentiality principles.

Nonetheless, psychologist never informed client of this risk before therapy began, rather, he assumed client “must understand” the protocol.
