[edit] Confidentiality in medical research
A discussion of confidentiality in the context of medical research is lacking.
The presumption of confidentiality from professional advisers like lawyers and accountants is not what it was; this information needs to be revised. Post 9/11 (and 7/7), governments in the US, UK, and elsewhere have been scrambling to restrict the lawyer-client confidentiality in a number of specific scenarios. This extends beyond legal confidentiality and - on the pretext of fighting money laundering - now applies to client-accountant relationships as well. In the UK the client-accountant relationship has been further eroded by legislation attempting to maximise tax revenues. I don't want to sound like a privacy campaigner but the article does need to reflect the new realities. Any takers? Poweroid 15:58, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] This article is also lacking on Counseling Confidentiality
Not just in victim/counselor relationships, but any form of counseling, such as where the client(s) seeing a counselor for relationship counseling, marriage counseling, etc.
In this regard, where does the line get drawn? Do courts get to admiss any information divulged without the client's consent? This is particularly curious in the case where there are two clients, and one client divulges in information that breaks confidentiality, such as might be seen in custody battles.
