- Abstract
Information is a key issue in care relationships. It might be said that it is essential for caregivers, who need to share the information obtained from interaction with patients with the professionals they work with. Basically it is information that the patients provide because they trust caregivers, and they give it in the confidence that it will be used to achieve the specific purpose of our professional intervention. Therefore, confidentiality can be considered to be the core value that guides this professional-patient relationship. Furthermore, confidentiality necessarily goes hand-in-hand with people's privacy and primarily involves respect for the patient. It also appeals directly to professional responsibility, and it is precisely in daily interaction among professionals where ethical dilemmas arise. This article analyzes an ethical dilemma by means of the method of resolution of cases used in Ethics Committees. Its aim is pedagogical and wants to contribute to reflection about the practice of Social Work .
