Psychiatrists have written much about the explosive expansion of
scientific knowledge of the brain which developed over the late
20th century and the early 21st century. Comparatively little has
been written within the field of psychiatry about the changes in
society and world culture over this same period, and even less on
the scope of psychiatric ethics that would account for these
changes. Yet psychiatric ethics is an excellent framework in which
to examine social changes in the field over the past 25 years,
changes which are dramatic in nature and profound in impact. Some
of these social changes include multiculturalism and its associated
diversity of values; the transition to the digital era with its new
demands on confidentiality, clinical boundaries, and privacy; the
empowerment of psychiatric service users as full participants and
co-producers of care; the development of new technologies of
assessment and treatment, varying in their invasiveness and risk;
the recognition of expanded social roles for psychiatrists, and the
associated virtues of psychiatric citizenship; and the development
of new practice models, settings, participants, and oversight, all
of which represent profound challenges and opportunities for the
ethical practice of psychiatry. The Oxford Handbook of Psychiatric
Ethics is the most comprehensive treatment of the field in history.
The volume is organized into ten sections which survey the scope of
the text: (1) Introduction, (2) People Come First, (3) Specific
Populations, (4) Philosophy and Psychiatric Ethics, (5) Religious
Contexts of Psychiatric Ethics, (6) Social Contexts of Psychiatric
Ethics, (7) Ethics in Psychiatric Citizenship and the Law, (8)
Ethics of Psychiatric Research, (9) Ethics and Values in
Psychiatric Assessment and Diagnosis, (10) Ethics and Values in
Psychiatric Treatment. Written and edited by an international team
of experts, this landmark book provides a powerful and important
review of psychiatric ethics in the 21st Century.
