The therapeutic and legal protections afforded by California's psychotherapist-patient privilege have become increasingly eroded in such recent cases as People v. Wharton and Menendez v. Superior Court. In another capital case, People v. Webb, the California Supreme Court further erodes this privilege in regard to the private (confidential) treatment records of a prosecution witness. The Webb case and its possible implications are explored.
在诸如“人民诉沃顿案”和“梅嫩德斯诉高等法院案”等近期案件中，加利福尼亚州心理治疗师与患者之间的特权所提供的治疗和法律保护已日益受到侵蚀。在另一起死刑案件“人民诉韦伯案”中，加利福尼亚州最高法院进一步削弱了针对控方证人私人（保密）治疗记录的这一特权。本文将探讨韦伯案及其可能产生的影响。
