CONFIDENTIALITY Counseling often deals with very personal and highly private issues. Successful outcome depends on a feeling of freedom on the client's part to express feelings, attitudes and thoughts with people who respect them and their right to privacy. Interviews conducted are confidential and information is not released except with the client's written permission or as may be required by law. The importance of confidentiality is reflected in the Counseling Services adherence to the Code of Ethics of the American Psychological Association. For more on confidentiality.
