PatientInnenbilder in der Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie

The integration of ethics into professional practice offers various opportunities for those involved. Recognizing ethical questions and values, discussing them, and outlining possible courses of action can serve as a valuable tool for individuals and institutions. In the context of psychiatry and psychotherapy, the concept of shared decision-making is not only suitable for educating patients about therapy options but also for providing them with professional support in this often challenging process. Psychiatry, which is itself embedded in societal processes as a specialized field, has always existed within an ethical tension, which is why the demand for an ethical examination of patient perception seems to be perpetually relevant.
