Divided loyalties in adolescent psychiatry: Late adolescence

Robert L. Arnstein

Social Science & Medicine, 1986, vol. 23, issue 8, 797-802

Abstract: The paper discusses problems that arise in psychotherapy with late adolescent patients when other individuals somehow become indirectly involved in ways that require or suggest some exchange of information. These individuals may be parents or administrative and teaching personnel within an institution. The differences between confidentiality, privileged communication, and privacy are discussed, and specific difficulties discussed in the therapy of late adolescents who are in the process of psychologically (as well as legally) attempting to achieve the independent status of a young adult.
