Responding well to a subpoena as a psychologist (with Dr Carollyne Youssef)

Bron is joined by Dr Carollyne Youssef, Forensic Psychologist, to chat about how to respond well when a subpoena comes. We cover legal obligations, maintaining client confidentiality, practical tips for navigating subpoenas, common mistakes psychologists can make, and the importance of seeking legal advice and support through supervision.

This is such a jam-packed episode with so much good information - I know you will love it and feel reassured by Carollyne's clear guidance! Thank you so much Carollyne! 😊
