Sissela Bok | The Limits of Confidentiality
Bok discusses the professional and institutional complexities surrounding the principle of confidentiality that have arisen since the days when it generally concerned one client and one professional. Four premises underlie the principle, which, when ignored, can lead to abuse and injury to the client. These four can, however, be legitimately overridden when the individual's right to secrecy is undermined by the society's right to information.
-When a client or another person is in harm's way, a professional is free to speak as long as what is revealed is

A) only so much as to avert the harm itself.
B) only to the client's family.
C) to the public at large.
D) to the professional's supervisor.
