Subject: Tarasoff vs. Regents of the University of California
The ruling in the case of Tarasoff vs. Regents of the University of California, states we must alert those who may come into contact with danger. We have a duty to protect others and must follow the ethical codes if possible. Our ethical decision making must protect the client as well as others who may be in potential danger.
Ethical Decision Making
Human service professionals must know when it is right to make the decision to warn others. While this may violate a client’s right to privacy, it is our job to maintain the safety of those they are trying to hurt. We cannot judge their actions but rather help them get through
