Over the past decades, public trust in medical professionals has
steadily declined. This decline of trust and its replacement by
ever tighter regulations is increasingly frustrating physicians.
However, most discussions of trust are either abstract
philosophical discussions or social science investigations not
easily accessible to clinicians. The authors, one a
surgeon-turned-philosopher, the other an analytical philosopher
working in medical ethics, joined their expertise to write a book
which straddles the gap between the practical and theoretical.
Using an approach grounded in the methods of conceptual analysis
found in analytical philosophy which also draws from approaches to
medical diagnosis, the authors have conceived an internally
coherent and comprehensive definition of trust to help elucidate
the concept and explain its decline in the medical context. This
book should appeal to all interested in the ongoing debate about
the decline of trust - be it as medical professionals, medical
ethicists, medical lawyers, or philosophers.
