Reason and Rationality in Health and Human Services Delivery is the
first book to discuss the topic of decisionmaking and services from
a multidisciplinary approach. It uses theory and social
considerations, not just technology, as a basis for improved
services. Health and human service students and professionals will
learn how to form rational and reasonable decisions that take their
clients'cultural backgrounds into consideration when identifying an
illness or appropriating any kind of intervention. With a
particular emphasis on theories, models, organizational settings,
technologies, and practitioner training methods that lead to
culturally sensitive decisions, Reason and Rationality will help
you deliver efficient and improved medical and social services to
clients from all ethnic backgrounds. Recognizing reason as the
centerpiece of most of Western philosophy, this text reveals how
our idea of truth, fact, and order are wrongly thought to be
universal; yet, Western principles are continually used in the
decision-making process for health and social services. Focusing on
the policy implications of decisionmaking in medical and social
service settings, this text works to incorporate a broad range of
factors into the reasoning process, such as cultural traditions and
beliefs, that will result in better treatment for patients. Giving
you suggestions and strategies for upgrading reasoning and
decision-making processes and applying them to every area of
service, Reason and Rationality discusses different themes that
will help you improve services to patients, such as: the rationale
currently used to justify decision-making strategies concerning
medical and human services using computer technology to make
clinical assessments revising administrative structure, management
theories, and organizational strategies so that decision-making
processes enhance the overall quality of service delivery how the
practitioner/patient relationship is important in choosing the
proper treatment soliciting community-based input to assess the
public s health and human service needs in order to lessen
political involvement in decision-making stages In addition, Reason
and Rationality provides information and examples that show why you
should consider the "life-world"--the values, beliefs, and
commitments of a culture s history-- as the key to understanding
the powers of reasoning that specify parameters of health and
illness.
