In a session with a 34-year-old client experiencing PTSD, the client reveals that a neighbor's 6-year-old child "often comes over with bruises" and that the client recently saw the caregiver strike the child with a belt. The client begs the therapist not to report, fearing retaliation. The therapist practices in a state requiring mandated reporting of suspected child abuse (e.g., Cal. Penal Code § 11166, 2024). The therapist considers:
  • Mandated reporting duties and confidentiality limits.
  • APA Ethics Code Standard 4.05 (Disclosures) (American Psychological Association, 2017).
  • Clinical principles: assessing credibility, immediacy, and documenting objectively. Which action aligns with the ethical guidelines on confidentiality?
