I am quite sure that is not correct. If that was in place, none of us would have ever risked being seen near the shrink’s office, much less talking to one.
As a military psychologist, I was required to inform the person and command if I thought he or she was a threat to self or other.
I think that comand is becoming much more aware of the need to give service members the opportunity to clarify their emotions and the thoughts driven by them. We are learning that to bottle them up creates a much bigger problem.
