If a teen has psychotherapy, will everything remain private or does the therapist have to talk to parents if they ask?

Maybe: Usually, confidentiality is fairly comprehensive. The therapist may, however, breach confidentiality in cases where the safety of the patient or of others may be, in the therapist's best professional judgement, be compromised.

Teen Therapy: There is no such thing as confidentiality with minors. However, we try to get the parents to understand that we will alert them to anything serious, and educate them as to the need for privacy even with children and teens. If parents insist, however, they must be given information - and it is important that teens know that before hand. Rapport and a therapeutic alliance is very important.

Privacy?: Is important and teens r entiteld to privacy , therefore we see them also separate from their parents. If the patient does not consent to release his information to his parents we don't release them unless he is in danger of harming himself or others.

Therapy: The parents of a minor have a legal right to know literally everything that goes on in the treatment of their child. That being said, it is incumbent upon the therapist to tell the parents during intake that the less they know, the more privacy is maintained, the better treatment will go. The exception to this is if the child is engaging in self ham. Most parents are OK with staying out of the way
