To tell or not to tell the diagnosis of schizophrenia
Journal of Medical Ethics 15 (1):21-24 (1989)
Abstract
Some patients with schizophrenia are not told their diagnosis. The moral, clinical and practical issues involved in telling or not telling the patient are discussed. In some cases a relative is told the diagnosis but not the patient. The implications for the family and clinical outcome are outlined. A case history illustrating some of these issues is presented.Other Versions
