Ethics in Community Mental Health Care: Commonplace Concerns
examines everyday ethical issues that clinicians encounter as they
go about their work caring for people who have severe and
persistent mental disorders. Individuals (psychiatrists, social
workers, case managers, nurses, psychologists, peer counselors,
primary care physicians) who serve on the front line of community
mental health clinical and social services find that they must
deal, on a daily basis, with significant ethical dilemmas that
involve personal, social, and policy matters: overstepping personal
boundaries and coercive practices, dealing with violence in the
home and in the workplace, breaching confidentiality, and ensuring
the rights and welfare of vulnerable individuals.
This book prompts and provokes readers to recognize, to analyze,
to reflect upon, and to respond to the range of commonplace ethical
concerns that arise in community mental health care practice with
persons who have mental disorders that may impede their ability to
protect their own interests.
