<em>This study examines Indonesian statuary regulation that requires doctors or hospitals to explain the medical malpractices or risks to surgery patients during the informed consent process. The study was triggered by the frequent medical disputes caused by the patient's misinformation regarding possible medical malpractices or risks related to surgery. In this case, patients need transparent and relevant information during the informed consent process. Therefore, this study examines the statuary regulation that requires doctors or hospitals to explain the medical malpractices or risks to surgery patients during the informed consent process. It used secondary data collected from literature studies of relevant materials and analyzed using normative and qualitative methods. The results indicated that no statutory regulation requires doctors to explain the medical malpractices and risks associated with surgery during the informed consent. This means that the required transparency principle is often not implemented. Therefore, these laws are urgently needed because the public is misinformed about medical malpractices and risks</em>

This chapter focuses on showing legitimate ways for coping with uncertainties within the informed consent process of predictive genetic testing. It begins by indicating how uncertainty should be theoretically understood. Then, it describes three dimensions of uncertainty with regard to both the role of genes in pathogenesis and the benefit to patients of undergoing predictive genetic testing. Subsequently, the ways by which institutions tame these uncertainties are explained. Since viewing genes as exceptional informational entities plays an important role in taming uncertainties, it explains why this conception should be abandoned. Then, it discusses how institutional taming of uncertainty becomes a source of paternalism. What is stressed is that in order to avoid paternalism and ensure transparency within the informed consent process, open-to-uncertainty mechanisms should be implemented before the public and the individual. How patients should deal with potential implications of testing for their relatives is also considered.

Ethical Responsibilities

AbstractIn the course of psychotherapy, psychologists need to make important clinical decisions regarding treatment goal selection, measurement procedures, and treatment methods. These decisions can be made without regard to the epistemic and ethical responsibilities that accompany professional status. Epistemic duties are obligations to obtain and have knowledge, while ethical duties are obligations to apply this knowledge accurately. We argue that these epistemic and ethical responsibilities are invoked and can be adequately addressed in the informed consent process. When the informed consent process is violated or done poorly, our epistemic and ethical responsibilities are not met and the client may be harmed. We argue that what the public assumes it is buying from us (and what we purport to sell) are specialised knowledge and skills; when psychologists are not meeting their epistemic duties, what our clients are receiving instead is intuition and performance art. We discuss errors that occur in the course of psychotherapy, as well as how we as professionals must seek to reduce or eliminate them.
