(my answer is "D informed consent.") am i right?
Yes, you are correct. The answer is D) informed consent. Informed consent is the process where the clinician must provide the client with all the necessary information about the potential risks and benefits of therapy, as well as the limits of confidentiality, so that the client can make an informed decision about whether to proceed with therapy or not. In this case, Dr. Strickland's failure to provide Gary with this information means that he has not obtained informed consent from Gary.
Yes, you are correct. The correct answer is D) informed consent.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand what informed consent is and how it relates to the given scenario. Informed consent is the process of obtaining permission from a patient or client after they have been fully informed about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a medical or therapeutic treatment.
In the given scenario, Dr. Strickland has neglected to inform Gary about the potential risks of therapy and the limits of confidentiality during therapy sessions. By failing to provide this information, Dr. Strickland has deprived Gary of the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision about the therapy. This is a violation of the principle of informed consent.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) informed consent.
