Esta obra profundiza en las tensiones y difíciles equilibrios que provocan los deberes de secreto de los abogados, médicos y periodistas cuando son llamados a declarar como testigos o imputados en procesos penales. Pese a los problemas que presenta la legislación sobre el secreto de los profesionales (no siempre está suficientemente desarrollada ni puesta al día, o en algunos casos no es objeto de regulación), la autora traza algunas líneas maestras sobre las que construir respuestas. Se ofrece aquí un análisis detallado de los problemas y sus soluciones que facilita un conocimiento en profundidad de lo que existe para, mientras no haya leyes nuevas, poder disponer de una orientación en el presente así como sentar las bases para un desarrollo futuro.
