Answer:

She violated the client's confidentiality by revealing to her colleagues that the applicant is being seen in therapy

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidentiality: In psychological therapy, the term "confidentiality" is described as one of the different ethical guidelines associated with psychologists and signifies that a piece of information that is being shared by a client during a therapeutic session must be enclosed between them and can not be shared with anyone else outside the therapy session.

In the question above, Dr Frazier has violated the confidentiality of the client.
