The process of obtaining consent detailed here contains within it most of the therapeutic techniques useful in the prevention and treatment of usual postoperative psychological complications. You will note that at various points the physician will have; given information, utilized suggestions, reflected feelings, allowed ventilation and catharsis, clarified, desensitized, increased self-esteem, given reassurance, fostered identification, supported healthy defenses, encouraged autonomy, control, and responsibility, and done some social engineering. These psychotherapeutic techniques have been built into the content and process of eliciting consent. In addition, and most importantly, the process has fostered the growth of the doctor-patient relationship, the ultimate therapeutic weapon in managing most postoperative psychological reactions.
