    73. Murder Confessions, Confidentiality, and the Menendez Brothers Case

    It's a true crime crossover episode! We brought on our attorney, Suzette Schommer, to discuss the Menendez brothers episode and what the therapist in this case did wrong, plus: If a client confesses a murder (or another crime) to their therapist, is it true that the therapist bound by confidentiality and cannot tell anyone? What does "duty to warn" mean-- who do you warn and in what situations must you do this?  In the Monsters series (and in real life), the therapist breaks confidentiality by telling his girlfriend (and former client) about the confession. What should he have done instead? Advice to therapists if they encounter this. The Therapist Thrival Guide is a podcast by Ellie Mental Health. We want to move therapists beyond surviving and into the realm of THRIVING by covering all the things that graduate school didn't teach you! This mental health podcast is hosted by Miranda Barker, MSW, LICSW and a rotating cast of seasoned therapists. Each episode features a therapist speaking to their areas of expertise, clinical interests, and personal experiences of being a therapist. This podcast will be covering topics like burn-out, self of therapist, cultural considerations, client retention, session structure, advancing clinical skills, innovations in therapy, and balancing professional relationships with our personal lives. Every now and then, we'll even cover the happenings of how therapists are portrayed in pop culture. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Miranda Barker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, MSW, LICSW, has been practicing as a therapist for nearly three years.
