- Title
THE PSYCHOTHERAPIST-PATIENT PRIVILEGE AS AN "OCCASIONAL INSTRUMENT OF INJUSTICE": AN ARGUMENT FOR A CRIMINAL THREAT EXCEPTION.
- Authors
Montiel, Joi T.
- Abstract
The article argues for an exception to the psychotherapist-patient privilege, given by the Supreme Court of the U.S. in Jaffee v. Redmond that is narrower than the dangerous patient exception. Topics include how the psychotherapist-patient privilege serves as an instrument of injustice when it protects a statement made to the therapist that is itself a crime, the rationale for criminalizing threats, and criminal threat exception to the psychotherapist-patient privilege.
