- I Know just what the problem is! I've seen it before many times, recently with my 2:30 patient, her name is Marissa. She was telling me about her eating disorder and struggles with bulimia. How about I set you up with her contact number and you two can form a sort of support group through each other!

- APA CODE OF ETHICS
- STOP!
- Hey! Brad here. I'm the local psychology police. I'm here to debrief you. There are two examples of psychological malpractice between Trisha and her therapist Mary. The rule broken within the APA Code of Ethics by Mary in both instances falls under the category of Client Confidentiality. As her therapist, Mary is under no conditions allowed to speak of her patients with any other person; not to mention another patient of hers. Mary also shared personal information (Marissa's phone number) without the patient's knowledge or consent.
