As a dual attorney-psychologist and risk management consultant for The Trust, Dr. Zelechoski has a unique, insider’s perspective on legal and ethical concerns for psychologists (specifically for those in testing), but much of the information that she shared can be helpful to anyone practicing in the mental health field. Here are just a few topics covered in this interview:

• Court orders vs. subpoenas
• Test data vs. test materials – what should we release?
• How to respond to negative online reviews
• What client information should we share in an online forum?
