Secondary School Administrators' Attitudes toward Confidentiality in School Counseling
O'Connell, William P.
NASSP Bulletin, v96 n4 p350-363 Dec 2012
The school counseling literature emphasizes the importance of confidentiality in the counseling relationship. In some circumstances, school policy may require disclosure of content discussed in counseling unrelated to threat of harm to self or others. This pilot study investigated secondary school principals' attitudes toward the practice of confidentiality in schools. Analysis of the survey data revealed that the sample of principals supported the practice of confidentiality in school counseling in the absence of threat of harm to self or others.
