Ethics and the Clinical Encounter explores the moral dimensions of
clinical medicine and the phenomenon of illness, to determine what
ethics must be in order to be fully responsive to clinical
encounters. Written in a lively and conversational style with
minimal technical terminology, and enhanced by actual experience or
real clinical situations, this volume lays out a clinical ethics
methodology both in practical and theoretical terms.Here's what the
experts had to say: Professor Zaner has provided us with a
remarkably lucid and trenchant discussion of the interface of
philosophy and the field of medicine. He brings into play an
extraordinary range of historial knowledge, extensive observations
based on firsthand experience with medical practices, and an acute
sense of philosophical argumentation. This is a work that will be
an exemplary and indispensable text in the philosophy of medicine
for years to come. -- Calvin Schrag... it is a highly original
contribution usable in a number of fields.... It really has no
competition.... The genius of Zaner's approach is to ground ethics
from the 'bottom up' and to direct us to the concrete particulars
of therapeutic encounters wherein lie moral and ethical matters ...
meaty, challenging, and ultimately rewarding.... -- Paul R.
DokeckiRichard M. Zaner founded the Center for Clinical and
Research Ethics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Having
established Vanderbilt's first Hospital Ethics Committee (1985), he
served as co-chair of VUMC's Ethics Committee since its inception
in 1990. Zaner has published five original books, edited ten, and
translated four more, and has published more than 100 sections of
books and professional journals.
