What is the Terasoff Act?

if you are referring to the landmark Tarasoff case, this is what your answer would be. The Tarasoff Act basically mandates that mental health professionals have a legal duty to protect third parties from the actions of their [professionals'] clients. The professional has a duty to take the necessary steps in warning the intended victim(s), police, and all other reasonably necessary people of the imminent and potential dangers that are posed by the client. Even though the ethical code of confidentiality is breached, the reason for the breach far outweighs and, therefore, justifies the breach.
