While ethics has been addressed in the health care literature,
relatively little attention has been paid to the subject in the
field of social care. This book redresses the balance by examining
theory, research, policy and practice in both fields. The
importance of this approach is reflected in the growing emphasis on
ethical issues in research and practice and, in Britain, on
government policy aimed at improving partnership working across the
two sectors. The analysis is set within the context of contemporary
challenges facing health and social care, not only in Britain but
internationally. Contributors from the UK, US and Australia
consider: ethical issues in health and social care research and
governance; interprofessional and user perspectives; ethics in
relation to human rights, the law, finance, management and
provision; key issues of relevance to vulnerable groups, such as
children and young people, those with complex disabilities, older
people and those with mental health problems; and lifecourse issues
- ethical perspectives on a range of challenging areas from new
technologies of reproduction to euthanasia.This book is intended
for academics, students and researchers in health and social care
who need an up-to-date analysis of contemporary issues and debates.
It will also be useful to practitioners in the public, private and
voluntary sectors, including social workers, community workers,
those working in the fields of disability and mental health and
with older people.
