Case Analysis in Clinical Ethics is an eclectic review from a team of leading ethicists covering the main methods for analysing ethical problems in modern medicine. Anneke Lucassen, a clinician, begins by presenting an ethically challenging genetics case drawn from her clinical experience. It is then analysed from different theoretical points of view. Each ethicist takes a particular approach, illustrating it in action and giving the reader a basic grounding in its central elements. Each chapter can be read on its own, but comparison between them gives the reader a sense of how far methodology in medical ethics matters, and how different theoretical starting points can lead to different practical conclusions. At the end, Anneke Lucassen gives a clinician's response to the various ethical methods described. Practising clinical ethicists and students on upper level undergraduate and Master's degree courses in medical ethics and applied philosophy will find this invaluable.
Psychiatry presents a unique array of difficult ethical questions.
However, a major challenge is to approach psychiatry in a way that
does justice to the real ethical issues. Recently there has been a
growing body of research in empirical psychiatric ethics, and an
increased interest in how empirical and philosophical methods can
be combined. Empirical Ethics in Psychiatry demonstrates how ethics
can engage more closely with the reality of psychiatric practice
and shows how empirical methodologies from the social sciences can
help foster this link.
