Case Study: A young man name Robert confided to the clinical psychologist that he intended to kill a young woman he readily identified as Cindy. The psychologist, understanding that his patient presented a real danger to the young woman, decided Robert should be committed for 72 hours to allow further evaluation, and he notified security to assist in securing the patient's confinement. The patient, however, convinced the security officer that he was rational, and he was released following his promise to stay away from the young woman. The health care provider rescinded the orders to place Robert in confinement for evaluation, and no efforts were made to warn Cindy of her family of potential danger. Within weeks of these events, Robert murdered Cindy the young woman. The health care provider later defended their decision to maintain patient confidentiality on the basis that they had a duty only to their patient, and in the absence of duty they were not required to protect the life and safety of others. Is the defense of the health care provider correct? Briefly legally and/or ethically support your answer? Focus your answer on the principle confidentially or exception thereof. _____________________________________________________________________
