Confidentiality and Its Discontents: Dilemmas of Privacy in Psychotherapy explores the human stories arising from the psychotherapist's dual allegiance to patient and society. These dilemmas include the hazards of publishing a case study without the patient's permission and the unexpected problems arising from the therapist functioning as a "double agent."
