    Clients and former clients prioritize information on therapeutic risks and confidentiality in informed consent. They deem therapist personal details less crucial, suggesting tailored disclosure practices are needed for effective informed consent in therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Informed Consent

    Background:

    • Informed consent is a critical ethical and legal requirement in psychotherapy.
    • Understanding client perspectives on essential informed consent elements is vital for ethical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the perceived importance of various informed consent elements among therapy clients and non-clients.
    • To identify differences in disclosure priorities between current clients, former clients, and students without therapy experience.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was administered to 35 current clients, 47 former clients, and 42 college students.
    • Participants rated the importance of 27 items for informed consent discussions.
    • Data analysis focused on comparing ratings across the three groups.

    Main Results:

    • Current and former clients identified "inappropriate therapeutic techniques," "confidentiality," and "risks of alternative treatments" as highly important.
    • Both client groups rated "therapist's personal characteristics" and "therapist's degree" as least important.
    • Significant differences in perceived importance of disclosure elements were observed between groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings support the need for differential informed consent disclosure practices tailored to client experiences.
    • Therapy providers should prioritize information most valued by clients, such as risks and confidentiality.
    • Future research could explore the impact of these differential practices on therapeutic outcomes.
