Doctor Client Privilege Disclosure

Summary

In New York, once a patient consents, a counselor may be compelled to disclose information, but it depends on jurisdiction and circumstances. In U.S. Courts, doctor-client privilege can be challenged, with exceptions. If a counselor refuses to disclose even with consent, the court may enforce compliance through a subpoena, though privilege arguments can be made. In United Nations investigations, local laws may not apply, but patient consent could influence disclosure. If the patient consents, the counselor generally does not violate laws by disclosing information, though specific regulations or policies may apply. Consulting a legal expert familiar with international and local laws is advisable.
