[Ethical Reflections on Parenthood of Mentally Ill Patients]
1Klinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, Klinikum Magdeburg gemeinnützige GmbH.
Abstract:
Ethical aspects towards the parenthood of mentally ill patients will be discussed in the German health care system. The "concept of an ethical therapist" offers new perspectives for solutions concerning the individual level. Structural and systemic problems require institutional and political configurations. The "ethical compass of psychiatric parenthood" points the dimensions of autonomy, heteronomy, egoism, and public spirit. Reductions of psycho-social burden, an age-dependent differentiated prevention und early external assessment contribute to successful parenthood of mentally ill patients.
