Abstract

This article considers threats of violence toward third parties during group therapy. An approach to preserve the group work, protect the threatened individuals, maintain the threatening patient's treatment, and protect the group leader medicolegally is described. Obtaining expert legal advice is very important. Reluctance to seek legal advice and inform third parties needs to be resolved. Knowledge of jurisdictional laws pertaining to disclosure is essential.
