PATIENT AGREEMENTConsent for Treatment • August 10th, 2020
The patient understands that psychotherapy has both benefits and risks. Risks may include experiencing uncomfortable feelings, especially during the first few weeks of treatment because the process of psychotherapy often requires discussing the unpleasant aspects of your life. However, psychotherapy has been shown to have benefits for individuals who undertake it. Therapy often leads to a significant reduction in feelings of distress, increased satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, greater personal awareness and insight, increased skills for managing stress and resolutions to specific problems.
