It is nearly impossible to prove it. If you can demonstrate that there is know way they could have known the information, you might have a case. If its all verbal, your at a loss. I know how you feel, believe me. Unfortunately you are looked at as the lying manipulator. Try your best, that is all you can do, then it is in Gods hands. Peace.

Well, start with how you know that. Are you just guessing, or do you have some evidence that it happened? If you have evidence, that can be used as your proof.
There's also a concept in the law called "res ipsa loquitur", which means "the thing speaks for itself". While primarily used in negligence actions, it generally refers to any situation where there is no other rational (or possible) explanation. For example, if the psychologist was the only person in the world you told a certain fact, and that fact became known to others...
But also be aware that in many such programs, as part of the rules upon entry you might have waived some or all of your rights to confidentiality. Especially for court-mandated programs. So, read the fine print, because the psychologist might have been allowed to share whatever information you're talking about.

How exactly did he "breach info"? By testifying? There are alot of exceptions to that law. He is in the right, especially if the person he "breached" about what a cause either to themselves or another person. Be sure first, talk to the institution (alcohol program) first, or your local APA....the person in the program should know what the APA is. Good luck....

Hold on a minute... there's no breach of confidentiality if there are three or more present when you speak with your attorney or doctor or mental health professional.
IF you did speak in private and the information leaked out, make sure it was not YOU who confided in someone else... if you are certain and can PROVE it... find a qualified, licensed attorney to represent you.

"Breached" HIPAA or shared confidential info meant to be kept between the patient and psychologist? You know, sometimes you sign away your rights to privacy without realizing it. Anyone the psychologist needs to share certain info with, they can.
But yes, if you have proof, I suppose you can prove it.
