* Indicates required question
Generally speaking, what does confidentiality mean to you?
*
What is shared should not be discussed with anyone (even amongst those present).
What is shared should not be discussed with anyone, except with the sharer (with their consent).
What is shared should not be discussed with anyone, except with those present.
What is shared should not be discussed with anyone, except with mutual friends you and the sharer have in common and both trust.
What is shared should not be discussed with anyone, except with people you trust, using your best judgment.
There's what you feel confidentiality is
in principle
, and then there's how you engage with it
in practice
.
Would you say that the definition of confidentially you selected above is the same as how you treat confidentiality in practice?
For example, you might have selected the second option above, but if you reflect on your behavior over the years, is it actually true that you
never
discuss what is shared in confidence with anyone other than the sharer — not even your lover or closest confidents?
*
Yes, with no exceptions. (100% adherence)
Yes, most of the time. (75% or more)
Sometimes. (25-75% of the time)
Rarely or never (25% or less)
If you believe confidentiality allows you in certain cases to share what was told to you to others, should you always conceal the identity of the sharer?
*
Yes, always.
It can't hurt but it's not necessary if you are talking with someone who was present when the information was shared.
It can't hurt but it's not necessary if you are talking with anyone who already knows exactly what was shared (for example, if you know they already spoke with the sharer about it elsewhere).
It can't hurt but it's not necessary if you are talking with trustworthy mutual friends you and the sharer have in common and both trust.
It can't hurt but it's not necessary if you are talking with people you trust.
It can't hurt but it's not necessary.
If you take the utmost care to completely conceal the identity of the sharer, are you then allowed to discuss what was shared with others?
("Someone told me once ABC happened to them and they felt XYZ...")
*
Yes, generally it does, although there are some exceptions.
No, generally it does not, although there are some exceptions.
I'm not sure.
Are there exceptions when it comes to keeping things confidential? (check all that apply)
when a person is suicidal
when a person is a danger to themselves (e.g. engaging in extremely risky behavior but not necessarily suicidal)
when a person indicates they may commit forcible or violent crimes in the future (such as murder, rape, tortue, kidnapping, etc.)
when a person indicates they may commit serious but non-violent crimes in the future (such as fraud, embezzlement, larceny, motor vehicle theft, treason, etc.)
when a person indicates they may commit minor crimes in the future (misdemeanors, petty theft, drug possession, etc.)
when a person indicates they have seriously harmed others in the past that you believe may be linked to unsolved crimes
when a person indicates they have seriously harmed others in the past that you have no reason to believe are linked to unsolved crimes
