In the video above, listen to the author, Dr. Roberts, discuss with
Chief of Staff John M. Oldham the challenges that medical residents
face in managing their own mental health and wellbeing.
Professional ethics and decision making have become areas of
heightened critical inquiry, as well as matters of normal but
challenging psychiatric practice. Informed by the extensive
clinical experience of the author and guest contributors, A
Clinical Guide to Psychiatric Ethics approaches the ethical aspects
of mental health care-both subtle and dramatic-with clarity,
coherence, and optimism. This engaging text functions as both a
review and a guide to issues on the horizon, as well as those
encountered every day. The Guide achieves these objectives by
employing several strategic features: * Structured logically into
three parts (Fundamentals, Caring for Special Populations, and
Evolving Topics), the book takes the reader from the general to the
specific and from the traditional to the emergent.* Case scenarios
at the end of each chapter not only focus the individual reader on
the chapter's concepts and issues, but also may be used in
independent study or small-group discussions.* The text emphasizes
real experience over remote theories, attuning readers to clinical
realities with keen sensitivity. It does not offer simple answers,
but provides guideposts to impart information, foster skill
development, and encourage openness, collaboration, and
self-reflection among both veteran clinicians and trainees.*
Significant focus is given to the care of individuals from distinct
populations (e.g., children and veterans) and care occurring in
unique contexts (e.g., small communities), underscoring the book's
broad usefulness. The material is thoroughly current, aided by
useful lists, tables, and figures to enhance its accessibility. A
Clinical Guide to Psychiatric Ethics provides a trustworthy compass
and expert companion for those traveling with their patients along
the ethical frontier of mental illness.
