Details: A Clinical Guide to Psychiatric Ethics provides a comprehensive framework for considering traditional and emergent topics in ethics and how they influence clinical practice in general and specific patient populations. With engaging insight, the author deftly reviews the nuances of ethics fundamentals. She then discusses with guest contributors ethical dilemmas and approaches to clinical work with children and youth, veterans, patients from culturally distinct backgrounds, HIV/AIDS patients, those at the end of life, patients living with addictions, and more. In addition, evolving topics such as clinician well-being and impairment, clinical innovation, and population health and systems of care are addressed in depth. Finally, the cases provided at the end of each chapter facilitate thinking and discussion. An appendix of cases further enhances ethical problem solving. Emphasizing clinical realities over abstract theories, A Clinical Guide to Psychiatric Ethics thoroughly illustrates and applies the ethics principles and practices that instruct psychiatric practice. This valuable text provides keen and trustworthy navigation for ethical dilemmas encountered in the roles and settings in which clinicians engage.
