Unit 5 – Cognitive Psychology
Topic 5.4
Why is informed consent considered crucial from an ethical standpoint before initiating therapy aimed at retrieving repressed memories?
Because patients must understand the risk of potentially uncovering distressing experiences or creating false memories before proceeding with such therapy sessions.
So the therapist can charge higher fees for these specialized sessions.
To allow patients the choice to opt out halfway through therapy without consequences if they wish so.
To avoid any legal issues that may arise from forcing therapy on patients.
