Informed consent and tardive dyskinesia. Long-term follow-up.

Informed consent allows patients to make treatment decisions based on the best possible information. The current study examines the long-term impact of the informed consent process on schizophrenic patients. Patients were administered a baseline questionnaire and were given an information form, which was read aloud to them by the investigator. Patients were re-administered the questionnaire at 4 weeks and were randomly assigned to no review (single-session group) or a review of the information (educational review group). All patients were administered the questionnaire at 2-year follow-up. Both the single session and the educational review process significantly increase the schizophrenic patient's knowledge about the benefits and risks of neuroleptic medication. No previous study has examined the impact of informed consent for antipsychotic medication at 2-year follow-up.

The effects of teaching medical students psychotherapy skills in the outpatient department.

A psychiatric clerkship which emphasizes a clinical exposure to the conduct of outpatient psychodynamic psychotherapy is described and evaluated. Compared to more traditional inpatient based clerkships, an outpatient psychotherapy-oriented clerkship attracts significantly greater numbers of students. In addition, medical students taking such a rotation rate its educational value on its completion significantly more positively compared to other clerkship sites. Finally, students taking the psychotherapy oriented clerkship opt for psychiatry as a specialty significantly more frequently than students taking the more traditional clerkships. The impact of such a learning experience on interpersonal skills with non-psychiatric, medical patients is also discussed.

The effects of teaching clinical clerks psychotherapy skills in the outpatient department.

We have described a psychiatric clerkship which is highlighted by a clinical exposure for the students to the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy on relatively well-functioning outpatients. Students assigned this rotation are shown to opt for psychiatry significantly more often and rate the educational experience as significantly more positive when compared to psychiatry clerks other teaching hospitals which do not emphasize this clinical experience in outpatient psychotherapy. In addition, students undergoing this type of clerkship are shown to significantly improve in their ability to the histories and interact with medically ill patients, suggesting a further beneficial effect of the experience in conducting psychotherapy during the clerkship.
