Privileged communication
privileged communication: The laws of evidence in some jurisdictions provide that certain kinds of communication between persons who have a special confidential or fiduciary (trusting) relationship will not be divulged. The psychotherapist-patient and doctor-patient relationship is, in some states, considered privileged communication. But the law is in a state of flux and there are many exceptions (e.g., a patient who sues, basing the suit in whole or in part on psychiatric considerations, may waive privilege). It is important to realize that the privilege belongs to the patient, not to the therapist, and can be waived only by the patient unless otherwise provided by the law in legal proceedings. probate: The court proceedings in which there is supervision over the property passing from a deceased person to beneficiaries under the provisions of the Will, or if there is no Will, under the provisions of the less generous state law.
