A couple is going through the legal formalities after filing for the divorce. The minor son is taking the psychiatrist treatment of several years for his mental illness. The wife wants the psychiatrist to appear in the court to testify; and claim compensation for the education and treatment of their son, from her husband. However, the doctor is reluctant to appear in front of the court.
In your opinion, should a psychiatrist appear in the court to testify? What are the ethical issues involved in such situations?
