     Mental health professionals face many complex questions in the course of their work with clients and patients. Among the most difficult are dilemmas that involve ethical issues. This book presents a forthright exploration of these dilemmas and the ethical considerations they raise. Drawing on extensive interviews, the author identifies common ethical problems that practitioners encounter. What happens, for example, when personal interests intrude into therapy? How can the therapist make an accurate assessment of his or her appropriateness as a care provider for a particular patient?
How are problematic financial arrangements best addressed?

     Should we allow terminally ill patients to hasten their deaths with the assistance of a physician? Do genetically engineered foods pose a danger? Is there something wrong about taking a drug that will enhance your intelli­gence? Should we conduct research on human embryos?

     Questions like these are the focus of public policy debates—debates that seem never-ending because they are often based more on ideology and religious dogma than on a careful consider­ation of the relevant legal and ethical questions. Opposing sides shout their slogans and per­suade no one. Writing in accessible terms, bioethicist Ronald A. Lindsay reframes these debates and explains how ethical controversies can be resolved by using commonly accepted moral principles, ensuring consistency in our views, and understanding the purposes and objectives of our policies.......

     David Luban is one of the world's leading scholars of legal ethics. In this collection of his most significant papers from the past twenty-five years, he ranges over such topics as the moral psychology of organizational evil, the strengths and weaknesses of the adversary system, and jurisprudence from the lawyer's point of view. His discussion combines philosophical argument, legal analysis, and many cases drawn from actual law practice, and he defends a theory of legal ethics that focuses on the lawyer's role in enhancing human dignity and human rights. In addition to an analytical introduction, the volume includes two major previously unpublished papers, including a detailed critique of the US government lawyers who produced the notorious "torture memos." It will be of interest to a wide range of readers in both philosophy and law.

     Neuroscience has dramatically increased understanding of how mental states and processes are realized by the brain, thereby opening doors for treating the multitude of ways in which minds become dysfunctional. This book explores questions such as: When is it permissible to alter a person's memories, influence personality traits or read minds? What can neuroscience tell us about free will, self-control, self-deception and the foundations of morality?

     The view of neuroethics offered here argues that many of our new powers are continuous with much older abilities to alter minds. They have, however, expanded to include almost all our social, political and ethical decisions. Written primarily for graduate students, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the more philosophical and ethical aspects of the neurosciences.

     This book is intended for students with various professional backgrounds. Multidisciplinary communication and research cooperation are increasingly important, so scientists in any one scientific community should be familiar with and respect the traditions of other scientific communities. Simply put, this book outlines the curriculum for doctoral candidates in medicine, but is also intended for students in the biological and biomedical fields. We hope that it can give the reader a broad scientific perspective. We believe that everyone in the medical and biomedical sciences should know a little about all the topics of this book, and that all should have deeper knowledge of topics relative to their disciplines.

     We have tried to make the material easily accessible for a broad group of readers, in part through including many examples. For instance, Chapter 11 on Statistical Issues includes examples of statistical data analyses. We have made the data we have used accessible online at http://books.elsevier.com/9780123738745. Along with these data files, we have included some statistical tables. We chose the SPSS statistical program package for presenting examples. Other application packages could have served equally well.

     Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Bioethical Issues, 10th edition, is a debate-style reader designed to introduce students to controversies in bioethics. The readings, which represent the arguments of leading philosophers and social commentators, reflect a variety of viewpoints and have been selected for their liveliness and substance and because of their value in a debate framework. For each issue, the editor provides a concise introduction and postscript summary. The introduction sets the stage for the debate as it is argued in the "yes" and "no" readings, and the postscript briefly reviews the opposing views and suggests additional readings on the controversial issue under discussion. By requiring students to analyze opposing viewpoints and reach considered judgments, Taking Sides actively develops students' critical thinking skills. It is this development of critical thinking skills that is the ultimate purpose of each of the
volumes in the widely acclaimed Taking Sides program. Complementary Titles From McGraw-HilI Higher Education
Biomedical Ethics, 5th edition, Thomas A. Mappes and David DeGrazia (2001) Classic Cases in Medical Ethics: Accounts of Cases That Have Shaped Medical Ethics, 4th edition, Gregory Pence (2004) Classic Works in Medical Ethics: Core Philosophical Readings, Gregory Pence (1998) Ethical Issues in Modern Medicine, 6th edition, Bonnie Steinbock,
