“…Notwithstanding this growing body of work, much less is known about how practitioners and student therapists view informed consent to psychological treatments. So far, the limited number of qualitative and quantitative surveys in the US and UK indicate wide variation among therapists and psychotherapy traditions, when it comes to perceptions of the importance of obtaining informed consent (7)(8)(9)(10); in particular, one study suggests that practitioners employing insight-orient approaches-whereby clients are encouraged to understand how their past experiences, feelings, and beliefs may influence their present mental stateare the most skeptical about the significance and practicability of obtaining informed consent from clients (10).…”

“…Böyle bir başlangıç, klinisyen ile danışan/katılımcı arasındaki güven ilişkisinin gelişmesine ve tedavi/araştırma sürecinin devamlılığı açısından işbirliğinin artmasına faydalı olmaktadır. [53] Bu bağlamda, Kerby bilgilendirilmiş onam alma sürecinin danışan ile danışman/psikoterapist arasındaki ittifakın yordayıcısı olduğunu belirtmiştir. [54] Gerek bir araştırmaya katılma gerekse psikoterapiye başlama kararını belirleyen en önemli bileşenlerden biri kavramadır.…”

ÖzetSağlık alanında etik davranışları belirleyen dört temel ilke (özerkliğe saygı, faydalı olma, zarar vermeme ve adalet) içinde en çok 'özerkliğe saygı' prensibiyle ilişkili olan bilgilendirilmiş onam aynı zamanda danışanın karar verme hakkı ve hastaya/danışana ve özerkliğine verilen değeri de yansıtır. Bilgilendirilmiş onam, bireyin pek çok farklı seçenek içinden kendisi için en uygun yöntemi seçmek üzere mantıklı bir karar almasını ve klinisyen ile etkileşimi de kapsayan bilgi paylaşım sürecidir. Bu kavram gizliliğin sınırlarına, yetkinliğe, uygun ve yeterli bilgi paylaşımına, gönüllülüğe dair ölçütle-rin neler olduğuna ilişkin klinisyenlere ışık tutmaktadır. Bir kuramsal derleme olan bu çalışmada bilgilendirilmiş onam kavramının tanımları ve içeriği paylaşıldıktan sonra, psikoterapistlerin psikoterapi sürecinde kullanacakları onam formunun neleri kapsaması, bilgilendirilmiş onam bileşenleri irdelenmiştir. Ardından yukarıda belirtilen tanı grupları kapsamında ruhsal bozukluklar ve onam verme kapasitesi ilişkisi incelenmiştir. AbstractAmong four basic principles (respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-malfeasance, and justice) which determine ethical behaviors in healthcare, informed consent is mostly related to 'respect for autonomy'. Also, it reflects patient/client's right for decision and the value given for the client and his/her autonomy. Informed consent is an information sharing process including both rational decision-making about the most appropriate method among many different options and the interaction between the clinician and the client. This concept sheds light on criteria regarding the limits of confidentiality, competency, appropriate and sufficient information sharing and voluntariness. In this theoretical review, the definitions and the content of informed consent were shared, and then a section regarding the required content of informed consent for psychotherapy process was provided. Then, the components of informed consent were discussed and the relationship between capacity to consent and mental disorders in terms of aforementioned diagnostic groups was examined.

“…As Raines and Strean display, the conflict between respect for autonomy and protection from harm can come from the decision to self-disclose or to remain undisclosive. Croarkin, Berg, and Spira (2003) have likewise found some ambivalence about counselor self-disclosure in the informed consent process. The authors set out to study informed consent beliefs of psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals.…”

“…The overall group was somewhat reluctant to self-disclose as part of that informed consent process (Croarkin et al, 2003). Indeed, only 7.6% of respondents "Agreed" or "Strongly Agreed" that clients would benefit from receiving personal information (sexual orientation, marital status, age, etc.)…”

At the end of this long and winding road, I feel the need to acknowledge with gratitude the contributions and support of the many people without whom I might still be detoured. Foremostly, I wish to thank my major professor and mentor, Dr. Norman Scott, for his unceasing support of my interest in the line of research which gave life to this dissertation. Even when recovering from heart surgery, Dr. Scott did not forget to encourage my efforts on the project. His wisdom and guidance are evident on each page of this document, and in all aspects of the psychologist am I to become. I must also praise the love and support I have received from so many of my dear family and friends. My parents have always fostered my love of learning and are very much responsible for this first-generation college student being able to claim the title "doctor". My dear friends ranging from those from elementary to those in my doctoral program also must be credited with helping provide support and suggestions which so enriched this project (and kept me alive while working on it!). I also wish to thank the faculty members who served on my dissertation committee and provided their expertise on this project. To Dr. Douglas Bonett, I owe much appreciation for the many statistical consultations which not only helped me "crunch the numbers", but also provided me invaluable leads and insight into how to frame my discussion of the results. Drs. Nathaniel Wade and Patrick Armstrong each contributed their vast knowledge of psychology and religion, and process research, respectively. Finally, I also wish to heartily thank Dr. Brad Shrader for bringing the novelty of his unique outside perspective to the project, and tempering that perspective with such kindness. vi As this dissertation builds on the video-stimuli created in my thesis, I must also recall the contributions provided by those five individuals who labored to help me create the clips. I thus acknowledge the fine acting provided by Laura Zishka, Ashley Buller, Ken Hiveley, and Matt Anthoney, whose efforts allowed the creation of the counseling simulation videos at the heart of this project. I also wish to thank Professor Sarah Zwick-Tapley, whose theatrical expertise on editing the scripts and providing directing suggestions increased the realism of my work many times over. Finally, though this project is a work of science, it seems fitting to acknowledge the faith(s) that drove it. Because religion is so important in the worldviews of so many people, I concur with those who argue that competency in religious issues must be an ethical mandate of counseling psychologists. I must, however, also acknowledge that my own personal faith (in God or whatever higher sense of connectedness binds humanity and creation together) no doubt was strongly involved in my journey through this project. While this dissertation journey is over, I pray that I, and all psychologists, continue to be guided toward a more empathic and culturally-sensitive understanding of the spiritual and religious lives of those w...
