Many couple therapists have a no secrets policy, meaning that they dont hold secrets (what qualifies as secret v. private isnt always an easy distinction to make, but, to simplify, a secret is something thats relevant to the other party) that are revealed to them by one party and not known to the other.
No; the therapist can treat only the couple or one of the partners. It is a conflict of interest to do anything else.
A Secrets Policy allows administrators to enforce access conditions and ensure the confidentiality of sensitive information. Unlike the unified policy, which is global and cannot be assigned to specific secrets, the Secrets Policy is designed to be assigned to individual secrets or folders containing multiple secrets.
Several factors can make family therapy inappropriate, and its important to recognize these to avoid making the situation worse. History of Abuse or Violence within the Family. Ongoing Substance Abuse or Addiction Problems. When Family Members Are Not Ready to Participate. Severe Mental Health Issues in One Family Member.
The No Secrets policy helps therapists uncover these hidden dynamics by encouraging all participants to share their experiences openly. This allows therapists to understand the family system and identify patterns or behaviors that may be contributing to ongoing issues.
