Zusammenfassung

Einführend wird auf allgemeine Aspekte relevanter ethischer Problemstellungen der Schizophrenieforschung fokussiert. Hierzu gehören Bedingungsfaktoren mangelnder Einwilligungsfähigkeit und deren standardisierter Beurteilung sowie die Nutzen-Risiko-Analyse aus verschiedenen Perspektiven. Das weit verbreitete Phänomen des „therapeutischen Missverständnisses“, die klinische Behandlung sei zwingend an die Studienteilnahme gekoppelt, wird erläutert. An Beispielen aus den Bereichen Arzneimittelstudien, Psychotherapiestudien und Hirnstimulation werden die ethischen Probleme in der klinischen Forschung bei Schizophrenie illustriert. Zu den für die konkrete Studiendurchführung wichtigen ethischen Aspekten zählen die Definition der Ein- und Ausschlusskriterien sowie der Abbruchkriterien und die kritische Prüfung von placebokontrollierten Studien.
