Appelbaum PS, Roth LH, Lidz C The therapeutic misconception Informed consent in psychiatric research. International Journal of Law and Psychiatry 1982. For over three decades, bioethics scholarship and research ethics guidelines have identified concerns about the boundaries between research and standard clinical care.

In 1982, Appelbaum and colleagues reported on findings from interviews with patients with psychiatric disorders that documented failure to appreciate the difference between research and treatment, labeling the phenomenon therapeutic misconception .

refimprove date May 2010 The therapeutic index also known as therapeutic ratio , is a comparison of the amount of a therapeutic agent that causes the therapeutic effect to the amount that causes death. Quantitatively, it is the ratio given by the lethal dose divided by the therapeutic dose. A therapeutic index is the lethal dose of a drug for 50 of the population LD50 LD sub 50 sub divided by the minimum effective dose for 50 of the population ED 50 ED sub 50 sub . A higher therapeutic index is preferable to a lower one a patient would have to take a much higher dose of such a drug to reach the lethal threshold than the dose taken to elicit the therapeutic effect. math mbox Therapeutic ratio frac mathrm LD 50 mathrm ED 50 math Generally, a drug or other therapeutic agent with a narrow therapeutic range i.e. having little difference between lethal and therapeutic doses may have its dosage adjusted according to measurements of the actual blood levels achieved in the person taking it.

Orphan date November 2006 Therapeutic angiogenesis is an experimental area of treatment of ischemia , the condition which associated with decrease in blood supply to certain body organs, tissue or part. This usually caused by constriction or obstruction of the blood vessels. Angiogenesis is the natural healing process by which new blood vessel s are formed to supply the organ or part in deficit with oxygen rich blood. The goal of therapeutic angiogenesis is to stimulate the creation of new blood vessels in ischemic organs, tissues or parts in hope to increase the level of oxygen rich blood reaching these areas.

Wikify date August 2009 Orphan date February 2009 Therapeutic inertia is a measurement of the resistance to therapeutic treatment for an existing medical condition . It is commonly measured as percentage of the number of encounters in which a patient with a condition received new or increased therapeutic treatment out of the total number of visits in which a patient had a condition. A high percentage indicates that the health care provider is slow to treat a medical condition. A low percentage indicates that a provider is extremely quick in prescribing new treatment at the onset of any medical condition. Calculation There are two common methods used in calculating therapeutic inertia. For the following examples, consider that a patient has five visits with a health provider. In four of those visits, a condition is not controlled such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol . In two of those visits, the provider made a change to the patient s treatment for the condition. In Dr. Okonofua s original paper, this patient s therapeutic inertia is calculated as math frac h v frac c v math where h is the number of visits with an uncontrolled condition, c is the number of visits in which a change was made, and v is the total number of visits. ref name okonofua cite journal doi 10.1161 01.HYP.0000200702.76436.4b url http hyper.ahajournals.org cgi content abstract 47 3 345 title Therapeutic Inertia Is an Impediment to Achieving the Healthy People 2010 Blood Pressure Control Goals author Eni C.

It is the means by which the professional hopes to engage with, and affect change in a client.

A therapeutic effect is a consequence of a medical treatment of any kind, the results of which are judged to be desirable and beneficial. This is true whether the result was expected, unexpected, or even an unintended consequence of the treatment. An adverse effect , on the other hand, is a harmful and undesired effect. What constitutes a therapeutic effect versus a side effect is a matter of both the nature of the situation in which a treatment is used and the goals of treatment. There is no inherent difference between therapeutic and undesired side effects both responses are behavioral physiologic changes which occur as a response to the treatment strategy or agent. The most common nominal reason for preferring certain affects is avoiding death. However, those changes which are viewed as desirable, given the situation, are called therapeutic those undesirable for the situation are viewed as unfavorable.

inline date December 2010 Neuro linguistic programming Therapeutic metaphor is a type of conceptual metaphor presented as a story or other parallel to an entire aspect of a situation, related by a psychotherapy psychotherapist to a patient. The purpose of this is to highlight to a person, in an effective way, some aspects and lessons that otherwise they might not be able to perceive as clearly in their current situation, or to suggest new outlooks on it. Thus a therapist, told about the death of a loved one, might respond by describing two roses in a garden, one of which is dug up. Uses Marsha M. Linehan Marsha Linehan highlights the utility of metaphor in her work with patients with borderline personality disorder the use of metaphor, in the form of simple analogies, anecdotes, parables, myths or stories, is extremely important in dialectical behavioral therapy DBT . Metaphors are alternative means of teaching dialectical thinking and opening up possibilities of new behaviors. They encourage both patient and therapist to look for and create alternate meanings and points of reference for events under scrutiny. Her metaphors for radical acceptance is like being a gardener learning to love the dandelions that come into the garden year after year, no matter what the gardener does to get rid of them and therapy interfering behavior is like a mountain climber refusing to wear winter gear when climbing in the snow and suicidal behavior is like the mountain climber jumping off the mountain, sometimes with the rope still tied to the guide are particularly illustrative of the uses she ... that metaphor holds in human communication and experience.

About pessimism regarding therapy other uses Nihilism disambiguation Therapeutic nihilism is a contention that curing people, or societies, of their ills by treatment is impossible. In medicine, it was connected to the idea that many cures do more harm than good, and that one should instead encourage the body to heal itself. Michel de Montaigne espoused this view in his Essais . This position was later popular, among other places, in France in the 1820s and 1830s, but has mostly faded away in the modern era due to the development of provably effective medicines such as antibiotics , starting with the release of Sulfonamide medicine sulfonamide in 1936. A variant of the belief is still held by people who believe in homeopathy and other forms of alternative medicine . In relation to society, it was the idea that nothing can be done to cure society of the problems facing it. It was never mainstream thought and did not grow beyond its origins in early 20th century Germany. It had no main proponent save for the novelist Joseph Conrad whose writings reflect the theory. Citation needed date February 2007 The phrase Theraputic Nihilism is also included in the modern version of the Hippocratic Oath, traditionally taken by Physicians upon graduation. The statement is I will apply for the benefit of the sick, all measures that are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and theraputic nihilism. The modern version of the Hippocratic Oath was written in 1964 by Loius Lasagna, Academic Dean of the School of Medicine at Tufts University, and used in many medical schools today.
