The psychotherapist and informed consent
JO Noll
The authors points out that psychotherapists are being increasingly
required by law to function as instruments of social control. He believes
it is incumbent on therapists to employ full and informed consent
procedures with their patients in regard to the effects of providing
psychiatric information to potential employers, insurance carriers, and
other third parties.
