INFORMED CONSENT FOR PATIENTS

It is important to answer as sincerely as possible. Whenever some questions are a matter of concern to you, don’t hesitate to discuss it with your therapist during the next session. Filling in the questionnaires takes approximately two hours. Therefore, the possibility is offered to complete the questionnaires in several sessions. It means that you can stop, save your answers, and finish later on.
