What a tangled WEB we weave: Straight talk about anonymising clinical writing about child and adolescent psychoanalysis
This paper explores the ethical challenges child and adolescent psychoanalysts encounter in trying to preserve the confidentiality of their patients and their families while still sharing what they have learned from this work by writing about it for professional colleagues. These challenges are made even more difficult in our digital age, when almost anything one has written can be discovered. An example of an adult who found papers written by an analyst seen in childhood serves as a cautionary tale.
