Confidentially, I can't tell you
A wonderful, thought-provoking, and sorely needed examination of: Confidentiality in Adolescent Psychotherapy
I want to particularly endorse the following:
"I am relatively unconcerned when I meet an adolescent patient who lacks insight or motivation or who resists treatment. I am very concerned when the parents of an adolescent patient are unwilling, unmotivated, or unable to play an active role in their child’s treatment."
Parents need to be included and assisted, but we also need to Step Up.

She's so good, I think I might move to Miami!
