This is not directly related, but the timing is interesting- and a huge red herring for mental health providers in Washington State:
http://alert.psychnews.org/2017/01/state-supreme-court-ruling-expands_3.html Now the providers are supposed to be clairvoyant, and decide who might be a potential victim, based on past sessions?? In the Washington case here, I believe the provider had not seen the patient in many months.

he new decision by the Washington state Supreme Court suggests that the duty is more expansive and that the provider may have an obligation to probe statements about violence to determine whether there is an intended victim and/or to infer intended victims from past sessions.
