Abstract

Dealing with psychiatry implies practical, legal and ethical issues. In addition to the general medical aspects that characterize the general medical practice, in psychiatry there are more critical points to be noted because of the nature itself of mental pathology, influencing the intellectual processes and affecting the capability of understanding one’s own actions. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a general overview of the main topics of the matter, in particular informed consent, accountability and professional secrecy.
