Hi Freewill,
I previously worked at a social service agency that was scrupulous to the extreme about "release of information" in any sense. However, I was surprised by something my therapist once said that suggested to me that she did not have a stringent view on privacy.
I am sure all the stuff about Hippa regulations came about because of the lack of confidentiality and privacy that existed and many people knew of confidentiality and privacy breaches. I hope it's better now with Hippa but human nature being what it is I would be surprised if breaches still don't happen.
