Mary will be the maid of honor at the wedding of Ron and Patricia two months from now, and she knows that Patricia  does  not  know  about  Ron’s  problems.  Mary  becomes  worried  and  wonders whether she should tell her best friend what she has learned, because Ron’s conditions  could  affect  Patricia’s  health  and  the quality of her married life”Questions:”What  should  HIM  professionals  do  when  family  or  friends  ask  them  for  information about others or when they discover  things  about  people  they  know during the process of doing their work?  Does  Mary  have  the  right  to  reveal this information to others?””In the situation regarding Mary’s friend Patricia  and  her  fiancé  Ron,  would  Mary  be  more  justified  in  revealing  patient  information  than  in  the  situation regarding the next-door neighbor?
