Clients Rights and Counselor Responsibilities

The case of Maxim:
Maxim is a therapist in private practice who primarily sees relatively well functioning clients. He considers keeping records to be basically irrelevant to the therapeutic process for his clients. As he puts it: “In all that a client says to me in one hour, what do I write down? And for what purpose? If I were seeing high-risk clients, then I certainly would keep notes.” One of his clients, Lucia, assumed that he kept notes and one day after a session asked to see her file. Maxim had to explain his lack of record keeping to Lucia.

–   What do you think about Maxim’s attitude on record keeping? Do you consider it unethical? Why or why not.
–   Taking into consideration the kind of clientele Maxim sees, is his behavior justified? Why or why not?
–   What if a legal issue arises during or after Lucia’s treatment? How might the lack of recording keeping affect that?
–   What if Lucia moved to another counselor and wanted notes transferred? Could Maxim be violated for unethical behavior for not keeping notes?
