“…In several surveys researchers have assessed the impact of Tarasoff on therapists' willingness to break confidentiality and warn probable victims, therapists' confidence in predicting dangerous behavior, and therapists' clinical management of dangerous clients (Givelber, Bowers, & Blitch, 1984; Jagim, Wittman, & Noll, 1978; Wise, 1978). A number of therapy techniques have been recommended for modifying assaultive behavior (Broderick, Friedman, & Carr, 1981; Foy, Eisler, & Pinkston, 1975; Novaco, 1975; Roth & Meisel, 1977). Tardiff (1974) conducted a pre- Tarasoff survey of Boston-area psychiatrists to determine what interventions they found effective in preventing violent episodes by their patients.…”
