“The client gave his consent...” I met, and I can’t remain silent. I'm angry. If you wish, I ask you to use my text to protect your or someone else’s right to confidentiality of personal life, and especially information entrusted to a psychologist. Let us, please, remember that even the very fact of providing psychological assistance, and even more so the details of personal life, is subject to non-disclosure, and let us take responsibility for this. And it doesn’t matter whether you participated in the training, were tested, or, especially, were in the space of psychotherapy. It doesn’t matter whether it was photography, a story or correspondence. And how hypocritical it is to shift responsibility to the client. I came across a description of the case again on a popular public network. A case of sexualized use. With a note - “the client has given consent.” A blatant violation of professional ethics. A clear example of how a person who has experienced sexualized use as a child has great difficulty in saying “no,” especially to someone whose care and love he so desperately needs. The trauma of trust forces an obsessive repetition of its content, since a person experiences dissociation and loss of contact with himself, his true desires - it is better to betray himself than the object of trust, the trust itself. Most psychologists I know consider it a sacred duty to keep their client’s secret. It would never occur to them to ask permission for such publications. Just as it wouldn’t even occur to you to ask permission for actual sexual actions. But it happened again. And again it's disgusting. What do you think, he changed the name, and that’s it, you can put the client’s life on public display? Did the client agree? Still would! Now you are his trusted object. After all, this is what they brought to you - about how she didn’t want to and agreed because she couldn’t refuse. This is what you write about in your stunning story hoping for an Oscar: about how a person could not protect himself, succumbed to someone else’s power, to his own addiction. How does he feel about this? The name of this is abuse. I understand when a case with all possible changes that exclude any recognition is described in secluded conditions to a supervisor who is tied to you “by blood” by bonds of non-disclosure, in order to prevent harm to the client, in order to better help. I admit that a scientist can write a dissertation and teach other scientists for the benefit of other people and therefore feel the need to contact patients. And if so, for the sake of hype... We must stand as a wall against such things. We have laws. But there is not always a conscience. And we don’t always think about what we support with our attention. Our sessions will become a safe place to meet yourself, where you can open everything as it is - to the last drop, to the darkest corners of your soul, to be vulnerable, sincere, alive and spontaneous. It helps to realize, experience and change.
