[Opinion: informed consent and mental capacity in clinical psychiatric practice (a Quebec perspective)].
This paper on informed consent and psychiatry, asks the fundamental question if informed consent doctrine applies or not to psychiatric practice. In a dialectic between systems of thought in psychiatry and law, the author stresses the importance of particular clinical situations which can be addressed or not in terms of application of informed consent doctrine. The purpose of the paper is not to give a final answer but to bring questions and stimulate thought.
