15 year old student
Pregnant
Wants an abortion
Parents wont let her have one
Refer Marion and her parents to therapy.
The family therapist can act on the
suicidal threat
What happens after ?
American Counseling Association (2005)
At initiation and throughout the counseling process, counselors
inform clients of the limitations of confidentiality and identify
foreseeable situations in which confidentiality
must be breached. (B.1.d.)
Clearly discuss the limits of confidentiality with minors.
Although minor clients have an ethical right to privacy
and confidentiality in the counseling relationship, the law
still favors the rights of parents over their children.
Marion’s Parents were also
teenage parents.
Her father will not allow an
abortion.
Abortion right or wrong ?
