Legal Issues Incorrect psychosocial rehabilitation diagnosis of a client, leading to improper service placement Improper work supervision, exposing the client to possible work risks Failure of staff to monitor psychiatric care or prevent adverse psychotropic drug side effects due to lack of intercommunication between mental health care agencies involved in the treatment and rehabilitation of the client. Madianos M.,2006
Ethical Issues: The ethical codes could be broken When the staff member disrespects the patient s autonomy with the development of paternalistic behavior. Decision making by the client and freedom of programme s choice, are fundamentals of the ethical principle of autonomy. If there is a breach of confidentiality e.g. reporting patient s diagnosis of treatment details to a possible employer and when therapeutic work procedures are videotaped or recorded for education or research purposes, without a previous written informed consent, by the rehabilitation service clients. Another important ethical issue is the challenge by the staff the client s system of cultural values and beliefs, when these are involved in the rehabilitation process. Madianos M.,2006
