The dilemma of using case material for publication is considered in the light of the conflicting claims upon the practising psychotherapist to provide convincing clinical substantiation of theory and at the same time to protect patients’confidentiality. Professional ethical codes and commonly employed safeguards are reviewed in terms of their efficacy, and the significance of obtaining patients’consent to publication is discussed.
