 AB    The author explores the moral underpinnings of psychiatric
       confidentiality in an attempt to define its ethical limits. Knowledge of
       this standard assumes growing importance as third party incursions into
       the patient-therapist dyad become increasingly common in day-to-day
       practice. The APA's AIDS policy on confidentiality and disclosure is
       offered as an illustrative example of the profession's ability to
       successfully translate moral deliberation into clinical policy.
