When a client presents a serious and imminent risk of violence toward an identifiable person, psychologists may have a duty to protect, which can include warning the potential target, notifying law enforcement, and/or taking steps to mitigate the risk (e.g., hospitalization), consistent with applicable jurisdictional law and ethical standards. Confidentiality is fundamental, but it is not absolute; limits include situations where disclosure is necessary to prevent serious, foreseeable harm. Option A ignores legally recognized exceptions. Option B may be insufficient if additional steps (e.g., notifying police, arranging evaluation) are warranted by imminence and feasibility. Immediate termination (D) without safety planning may heighten risk and contravene standards for beneficence and nonmaleficence. Best practice includes conducting and documenting a structured risk assessment, consulting as appropriate, disclosing the minimum necessary information, and following local statutes and case law (which vary by jurisdiction regarding “duty to warn” vs “duty to protect”). Clear documentation of decision-making, actions taken, and legal/ethical justification is essential for client welfare and professional accountability.
