description	Examined laws in the 50 states of the US and the District of Columbia that pertain to the protection and limitations to confidentiality outside of the courtroom. It was found that many state laws do not address a variety of issues relevant to psychotherapist confidentiality, and where they do, the positions taken are often inconsistent across jurisdictions.

It is concluded that the American Psychological Association should develop a policy for each issue raised that best reflects the values of the profession. (82 ref)
