Informed consent bij psychotherapie

  • Published:
Tijdschrift voor Psychotherapie

Abstract

In de psychotherapie zijn procedures voor informed consent nog weinig uitgewerkt. Expliciete criteria voor de informatieplicht en het toestemmingsvereiste volgens de WGBO moeten nog ontwikkeld worden. De beroepscodes blijken op dit punt niet eenduidig. De uitvoering van informed consent stuit op inhoudelijke, relationele en praktische moeilijkheden. Voorlichting in de vorm van brochures of folders is maar een onderdeel van de hele procedure. Voorstanders noemen informed consent een vruchtbare pre–therapeutische activiteit. Juist bij psychotherapie is het bereiken van informed consent van groot belang, omdat zodoende de belangen en autonomie van de cliënt maximaal gewaarborgd kunnen worden.

‘Informed consent’ in psychotherapy

Procedures for informed consent are still not fully developed in psychotherapy. Explicit criteria for the obligation to provide information and the requirement for permission in line with the law wgbo still remain to be developed. Professional codes of behaviour differ on this point. Implementing informed consent procedures encounter intrinsic, relational and practical difficulties. Information in the form of folders or brochures is only one part of the whole procedure. Supporters refer to informed consent as a fruitful, pre–therapeutic activity. Reaching informed consent is particularly important in psychotherapy since it enables the interests and the autonomy of the client to be safeguarded as much as possible.

J.H. Wippoo is klinisch psycholoog/psychotherapeut.
