Clinical pluralism
Appearance
Clinical pluralism is a term used by some psychotherapists to denote an approach to clinical treatment that would seek to remain respectful towards divergences in meaning-making. It can signify both an undertaking to negotiate theoretical difference between clinicians,[1] and an undertaking to negotiate differences of belief occurring within the therapeutic relationship itself.[2][3][4] While the notion of clinical pluralism is associated with the practice of psychotherapy, similar issues have been raised within the field of medical ethics.[5][6]
