Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The therapist's priority should always be the welfare and safety of the child in cases of abuse. It is important to take steps to protect the child and ensure they receive appropriate support and care. Confidentiality can only be maintained to the extent that it does not interfere with the child's welfare. Exposing family secrets must be done carefully and only if it is necessary for the child's protection. The possibility of incest may need to be explored, but it should not be the therapist's primary focus.
