This work sets the stage regarding debates about paternalism and
health care for years to come. The anthology is organized around
four parts: i) The concept of paternalism and theoretical issues
regarding the idea of anti-paternalism, ii) strategies for
justifying different forms of paternalism, iii) paternalism in
psychiatry and psychotherapy, iv) paternalism and public health,
and v) paternalism and reproductive medicine. Medical paternalism
was arguably one of the main drivers of debates in medical ethics
and has led to a wide acknowledgement of the value of patient
autonomy. However, more recent developments in health care, such as
the increasing significance of public health measures and the
commercialization of medical services, have led to new social
circumstances and hence to the need to rethink issues regarding
paternalism. This work provides an invaluable source for many
scholars and practitioners, since it deals in new and original ways
with one of the main and oldest issue in health care ethics.
