 Here I will be particularly talking about some points which are related to access of the adult's record. For therapy to be optimally effective, a person must be able to discover their thoughts, feelings, experiences and behaviors without fear of judgment. This is very much pertinent if you have continuously in your mind the lag behind fear that whatever you are going to share in terms of your thoughts, your feelings, your aspirations to the psychotherapist may be going to leak some time, it's not going to help either the patient or the therapist. They must also be confident that their therapist will not share this information with the third parties. The very reason of having the psychotherapeutic sessions is that we can share those particular fears, those particular problems with the therapist who cannot be shared with any other individuals because of being judged by them, because of being stigmatized by them or for any other reason. The ability to be vulnerable in therapy can support a strong therapeutic alliance and can help a person recover more quickly. Now, access to record suit by the family members of an adult should generally be denied unless some special reason justifies considering the request. Special reasons might include the immediate danger test or the legal and emotional test. The only reason is that the therapist is not allowed to share the confidential record with any of the family members for any of the reasons. Special reasons might include the immediate danger test or the legal and emotional test. The immediate danger test or the legally adjected incapacity of the client. So, as I mentioned earlier, until and unless there is no legal binding, until and unless there is no threat to self, threat to others or threat to community, such records cannot be given to others. Now, giving you an example in a scenario, a patient lived with cancer for many years and during that period she occasionally consulted a therapist and she has been talking about her fears, her concerns about anxieties related to illness and things like that. Because you know that cancer is a long process in which patients generally seek treatment for a long period of time. During a surgical procedure to some complications, the patients are live on a live support equipment. Now, here comes the scenario. The condition deteriorated and she had to put it on a ventilator or live support machine. Now the patient is unconscious. She is unable to say anything about herself. Now the situation is in stuck. How long does the life support last and when should the ventilator be turned off? Although with a little chance of recovery, because in every case we can say that there are very few chances that someone will recover. But in such deadly diseases where the situation medically is not supportive, members of our family plan to seek court authorization to discontinue mechanical life support equipment. You know that the life support of a ventilator is not an easy thing. The whole family should be consented and even at times you have to take legal authorization from the court that you are going to switch off the mechanical life support of any individual. Because at that time, you cannot decide your life yourself, being an unconscious person. They wanted to access the record or conversation of a patient with the therapist that might provide some guidance to them and the court about their wishes. In this scenario, the therapist's past communications which keep revealing herself about her wish to live, about her ways to end the life, in which situation she would prefer to die in case of condition deterioration, she would want to live more, she would not want to live. What are her aspirations, what point of view does she hold that death is better than such a bad life? So, you know the confidentiality matter is there, but here comes a case in which you have to see that those verbatims of the patient is going to help her in another way. So, we need to access them and get their information from the therapist. In such a case, when the client cannot get the information from the client, we need to get the information from the client. In such a case, when the client cannot speak for herself, the situations become difficult for the therapist to decide. Now, coming towards the scenario of a therapist. When you have such a situation as a therapist, where the client's record is being accessed and you will see your records and tell them what was the point of view of the client's life, at times it becomes very critical for the therapist as well. According to the rules, it probably would not be unethical for the therapist to respond openly to a duly authorized request or information from the next of kin. In those scenarios, particularly where the situation is in the given scenario, where ethically the client and his family members have access to such records for the therapist, whether it is ethical or legal. But it also depends on case to case. That is why I am mentioning that in different particular scenarios because we have by now reached to an extent where it's very much important to discuss the cases and to give information in light of the given scenarios. So we will be talking about such cases time to time. So in such situations, we have to see that the permission may be granted and it would be considered as an ethical permission.
