Symposium on Tarasoff

From HealthLawProf Blog, we learn of a symposium on Tarasoff, to be conducted at the University of Cincinnati College of Law on March 17. The Tarasoff decision, it will be recalled, imposed on psychotherapists a duty to protect the public from violent acts perpetrated by their patients. This year marks the decision's thirtieth anniversary. The symposium will assess legal and scientific issues implicated by the duty that Tarasoff announced.
