Opis

Mental health professionals are required by law to keep patient disclosures confidential, yet the law also requires them to "warn and protect" anyone their patient is likely to harm. A Duty to Betray plunges Dr. Ricardo Ruiz, a young psychologist just beginning his career, squarely into the middle of these two seemingly irreconcilable legal obligations. Set inside the famed Camarillo State Hospital on California's Central Coast, A Duty to Betray draws the reader into this legal, ethical, and ultimately moral dilemma when Mr. Tran, one of Dr. Ruiz' patients, reveals a potentially lethal secret during therapy. Cat and mouse confrontations between the two thrust the "tell - don't tell" conflict into sharp definition since Dr. Ruiz knows that, either way, his decision will have deadly consequences. "...a riveting psychological thriller that pits a gifted young psychologist against the diabolical but brilliant former patient he suspects of faking psychosis...Moreno gets it right...a sinister plot, and a setting that unfolds eerily to the lyrics of "Hotel California," where you can "check out any time you like, but you can never leave." It's unputdownable."  David Freed, author of the Cordell Logan mystery series About the Author: Dr. Kelly Moreno is a professor of psychology at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He is also a psychologist in private practice and conducts Mentally Disordered Offender Evaluations for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He has worked at psychiatric facilities in Wash., D.C., Utah, and California, and published over two-dozen articles on psychopathology and its treatment. A Duty to Betray is his first novel.
