title: [The risk/benefit ratio in psychiatry].
abstract: The risk/benefit ratio weighs up on the one hand the expected advantages and on the other the potential risks of a procedure. It is taken into consideration with every therapeutic decision, whether it concerns medication-based treatments, psychotherapy or any other type of treatment. The ethical dimension is a critical element which must be taken into account during team deliberations, whenever these are possible.
