Ethical Practice in Brain Injury Rehabilitation helps
rehabilitation professionals deal effectively with the difficult
ethical dilemmas that regularly face them in their daily clinical
practice. The book takes a multiprofessional perspective, focusing
on issues facing therapists, doctors, nurses, and psychologists,
and will also be helpful to relatives of people with acquired brain
injury. It treats ethics as a special case of good professional
practice and takes a practical psychological approach, looking at
the thoughts, feelings, and actions that are involved in taking
ethical decisions, carrying them out, and living with their
consequences. The book tells the story of brain injury from the
patients' perspective, and argues that patient-centred practice
that strives to uphold patient autonomy and support the
reconstitution of personal identity is the basis of good
rehabilitation. But it also acknowledges the difficulty in
delivering patient-centred practice in a context of limited
resources, diverse value systems, uncertain prognosis, and
conflicting loyalties. The book contains many case histories,
including a series of guided examples that will be useful for
individual study or group work.
