The Best Revenge by Stephen White

Alan Gregory, psychologist, is adjusting to a life with his wife and new daughter. He is confronted with keeping the secrets of those who may commit a crime or break the law in some manner and tries to decide just how far he can go in informing authorities that a crime may be going to be committed. This novel gives the reader an inside look at the responsibilities of the psychologist profession (and especially in view of HIPA today) and the stress it can put on the private lives of those in it. A very good read, exploring the personalities of different characters and the illness that seems to control their lives.
