Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.4
How might the ethical principle of beneficence be applied in treating a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder?
It means that the therapist cannot charge for their services as this would exploit the patient.
The clinician can ignore the patient's discomfort if they believe the therapy is working.
The clinician should strive to maximize treatment benefits and minimize harm.
Beneficence isn't applicable to psychological therapy, only physical healthcare practices.
