Anotacija:

     IN THE CLINICAL SETTING, physicians encounter a host of perplexing ethical problems, often complicated by conflicting perspectives and the need to make immediate decisions. In this volume, bioethicists provide a nuanced, in-depth approach to the difficult issues involved in bioethics consultation. Addressing the needs of researchers, clinicians, and other health professionals on the front lines of bioethics practice, the contributors focus primarily on practical concerns whether ethics consultation is best done by individuals, teams, or committees; how an ethics consult service should be structured; the need for institutional support; and techniques and programs for educating and training staff without neglecting more theoretical considerations, such as the importance of character or the viability of organizational ethics....


     "A very important topic from the leaders in the field." - BERNARD LO, University of California, San Francisco, and author of Resolving Ethical Dilemmas.
     "This book is an important and welcome addition to the scholarship in the field. Addressing the current state and future direction of ethics consultation, it offers a thoughtful overview of some of the most important issues currently debated, from foundational theoretical questions to more practical strategic concerns. It makes a substantial contribution to the literature and will certainly be widely read and referenced." - SUSAN B. RUBIN, PH.D., co-founder of The Ethics Practice and Chair of the Clinical Ethics Task Force of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities.
