When recording or imaging sessions for supervision or publication, what is required?

Recording or imaging sessions for supervision or publication involves protecting participants’ privacy and obtaining explicit permission. The main requirement is to obtain written, specific consent that explains the purpose of the recording, how the data will be stored, who will have access, how confidentiality will be maintained, and the participant’s right to withdraw consent at any time. If possible, de-identify the material to reduce the risk of recognizing the person. Written consent is typically necessary for dissemination or supervised viewing, and recording without consent is not ethical and often not legal. Verbal consent alone does not provide the same protection or documentation, and while de-identification helps privacy, it does not replace the need for consent when data will be shared. This combination—explicit written consent with clear details plus de-identification when feasible—best upholds professional ethics and privacy in supervision and publication.
