Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Canadian Psychiatric Association's position is that duty to warn is an accepted standard of practice for psychiatrists in Canada, even though it is not legally mandated. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Choice A is not correct because the position does not state that professionals do not have a duty to warn in cases which would breach confidentiality. Choice C is also not correct because the position does not make any comparison between the United States and Canada with regard to duty to warn and privileged communication. Choice D is not correct because the position does not state that duty to warn does not apply in cases where psychiatrists are retained as expert witnesses.
