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