What must be reviewed whenever there is a change in treatment?

When there is a change in treatment, it is essential to review the informed consent agreement. This document outlines the nature of the therapeutic relationship, the client's rights, the therapist's responsibilities, and the specifics of the treatment being provided. Reviewing it ensures that clients are aware of how their treatment may change, including potential risks, benefits, and any new or revised terms based on the shifting context of their therapy.

Informed consent is a foundational aspect of ethical practice in therapy and allows clients to make informed decisions about their participation and engagement in the therapeutic process. It fosters transparency and maintains the therapeutic alliance, ensuring that clients are actively involved in their treatment plan.
