Thank you for your enthusiasm, we are clearly communicating excellently, this is a great group of people!
Additionally, your comment, regarding laws amended due to tragic circumstances, such as mass shootings. Such as the mass shooting at the UC Santa Barbara, CA whereby the shooter emailed his therapist, family, and other mental health professionals. Essentially, the amendments to the law allow for counselors to provide information about their client, if they present a danger to themselves or others. In truth, the line between public safety and patient privacy is a delicate one. As for confidentiality, one should only provide proper notice of clients intent to harm themselves or others; it is in the best interest of the client to do so.
