“Confidential communications”
Arizona treats the confidential communications between psychologists and their patients as privileged to the same extent as communications between an attorney and client. Consequently, the patient must waive the psychologist-client privilege before a psychologist can disclose information. The privilege does not apply if the disclosure is made to the state board of psychologist examiners in regards to an investigation or proceeding nor does the privilege apply when psychologists are required by law to report information.
Psychologists must guarantee that their employees adhere to the same confidentiality standards as apply to psychologists.
