What is informed consent in therapy?

  1. A process to detail the fees involved in therapy

  2. Explaining what will occur during therapy

  3. A formal application for therapy

  4. Obtaining a client's medical history

The correct answer is: Explaining what will occur during therapy

Informed consent in therapy involves explaining what will occur during the therapeutic process. This includes a detailed discussion about the nature of therapy, the techniques that might be used, the goals of treatment, potential risks and benefits, and the client's rights and responsibilities. Informed consent is essential because it empowers clients to make knowledgeable decisions about their participation in therapy, ensuring they have a clear understanding of what to expect. It establishes a transparent and trusting relationship between the therapist and the client, allowing clients to feel safe and secure in their therapeutic journey. Informed consent is not just a one-time event; it is an ongoing process, revisited as necessary, particularly if there are significant changes in treatment or the client’s circumstances.
