Current T never takes notes. He has a very good memory though--he remembers details that I don't remember until he mentions them.

Former T wrote brief notes at the end of the day about all of the patients he saw that day.

Both are really big on privacy. I do know Ts out there often don't take notes because of privacy issues.

There are actually some insurance companies that want copies of the session notes (as opposed to a treatment plan, for example). Will clients be so disclosing if they knew those notes were being reviewed by various people? That practice can jeopardize the therapy.

Those notes can possibly be used against you in child custody cases, or if you sue someone for sexual harassment, for example. Court subpoenas, etc.
