I am asking this because I notice that in many of my Psychology text books, they have cases that Freud, Carl Rogers, or some of the other Psychology theorists, conducted. They have the information of the client, and in some instances, the script of their therapy session. Also, in one of my classes, we got to watch a video taped session of one of them....I believe it was Carl Rogers. And got to hear the taped sessions that he recorded. I just wondered how such information and access, that is supposed to be private, has ended up being shown in classrooms and on tapes? Does confidentiality no longer matter after both have died? If that's the case, can anyone's case and therapy sessions, be published in text books, and shown to students...after the two have died?

I assume that if they are showing these things, the people who were videotapes agreed to have them released. When the psychologist published their findings, they probably got permission from the client to show the session.

Specifically these sessions were taped for the purpose of showing them to students (though note that actors have not been used). Generally, I'm quite certain that client confidentiality is maintained (perhaps unless a very extreme situation rises - court orders, etc.).

Worrying thought..!
But was there even such thing as the confidentiality/privacy of medical records back then?
I think they are already allowed to use information from your records, to make stats and stuff, and "improve services" ...but obviously don't use your name etc. I still think that is wrong.

That's an interesting question. I don't know. I too have taken Psychology in college and saw these taped therapy sessions.
hmmm...

they migh have confident the affected person to launch the documents, for the best thing approximately technology and/or funds charge. Or it would be it incredibly is okay as long as affected person call isn't released.
