Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Tarasoff I decision, also known as Tarasoff v. Regents of the University of California, made it mandatory for therapists to warn anyone who might be in foreseeable danger as a result of their clients' conditions. This decision established a therapist's duty to protect and inform potential victims of harm, which has become a standard of care in mental health professions. Tarasoff II decision ruled that therapists have an additional duty to protect potential victims by taking reasonable steps to protect them, such as notifying law enforcement. The Comprehensive Crime Control Act and American Law Institute criterion are not directly related to the Tarasoff decision.
