Abstract
Three areas with special relevance to liability and child therapy are considered: informed consent, confidentiality, and child-abuse reporting laws. In each area, issues that may be confronted in therapy or in research on therapy are discussed, and a sampling of relevant laws is explored. Suggestions for avoiding potential liability and protecting the interests of minor clients are considered.
