People who are receiving services for professionally diagnosed psychological disabilities often are not consulted about the nature of those services, or their willingness to participate in them. This issue of the journal presents the autobiographical accounts of four such people, followed by commentaries about those accounts by three professional service‐givers. This collection emphasizes the need to obtain informed consent for any psychological services that are offered, for ethical, humane, and professional reasons. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
