Counselling and the law make uneasy bedfellows. Whilst counsellors often have no more than a vague idea of the ways in which the legal system might impact on their work, the legal profession itself is quite clear about what therapists should do if required to hand over their counselling notes, to appear in court as a witness, or to describe their counselling work in detail. For the counsellor, this presents huge dilemmas, and many find themselves caught between a need to comply with the law and a fear of the impact that this will have on the client-counsellor relationship. This programme differentiates the facts from the fantasies, and explores the issues involved when therapists find themselves under pressure to break confidentiality or, alternatively, when they themselves begin to wonder whether they should do so.
