The context for this interdisciplinary work by a philosopher and a
clinician is the psychiatric care provided to those with severe
mental disorders. Such a setting makes distinctive moral demands on
the very character of the practitioner, it is shown, calling for
special virtues and greater virtue than many other practice
settings. In a practice so attentive to the patient's self
identity, the authors promote a heightened awareness of cultural
and particularly gender issues. By elucidating the nature of the
moral psychology and character of the good psychiatrist, this work
provides a sustained application of virtue theory to clinical
practice. With its roots in Aristotelian writing, The Virtuous
Psychiatrist presents virtue traits as habits, able to be
cultivated and enhanced through training. The book describes these
traits, and how they can be habituated in clinical training. A turn
towards virtue theory within philosophy during the last several
decades has resulted in important research on professional ethics.
By approaching the ethics of psychiatric professionals in these
virtue terms, Radden and Sadler's work provides an original
application of this theorizing to practice. Of interest to both
theorists and practitioners, the book explores the tension between
the model of enduring character implicit in virtue theory and the
segmented personae of role-specific moral responses. Clinical
examples are provided, based upon dramaturgical vignettes
(caseplays) which illustrate both the interactions of the case
participants as well as the inner monologue of the clinician
protagonist.
