My case study was number 14. Tavion’s father brought him to the Methodist Hospital for a broken arm and he was reluctant to leave his son’s side. And what his father said about the broken arm did not seem to be true. The father was not allowed to come during the X-ray and then the nurses asked the boy about the broken arm, how he got it. Father’s claim about Tavion falling from jungle gym seemed false because the injuries were clean, and the nurses asked Tavion if he’s scared of getting beaten at home and he said no. Before leaving hospital, Tavion’s father requested to not release the medical reports without his consent and the following weekend Tavion’s divorcee mother asked for a copy of them, because she suspects abuse.…

Video presentation: The video clip was quite interesting I found it to be very educational as to the legal obligations of therapists in the mental health field. There were issues that were brought up that were quite important, such as therapists need to understand confidentiality, privileged information, and a therapists responsibility related to reporting suspected child abuse, elder abuse, and/or suicidal ideations, and possibly the most important of them all is a therapists duty to warn. The first case they were focusing on was the case related to a child that was presented in the ER and seen by Nurse Brown and now because she did not report any suspected child abuse she was charged with a crime. The statement that the character Constance Brandis made was quite succinct; Nurse Brown noted “the child was brought in unconscious and undiagnosed or undetermined distress. She notes bruises, she asked foster mother about them, she gets an explanation, and she buys it. Remember, this is a licensed foster care mother. The boy is treated at the hospital, recovers and then goes home” (Psychotherapy, 2008). After this statement the question that this character had was definitely the appropriate question she said “is Nurse Brown a criminal who might be put in jail was she breaking the law should she be punished”(Psychotherapy, 2008).…
