Produktbeschreibung

Ethics in Community Mental Health Care: Commonplace Concerns examines everyday ethical issues that clinicians encounter as they go about their work caring for people who have severe and persistent mental disorders. Individuals (psychiatrists, social workers, case managers, nurses, psychologists, peer counselors, primary care physicians) who serve on the front line of community mental health clinical and social services find that they must deal, on a daily basis, with significant ethical dilemmas that involve personal, social, and policy matters: overstepping personal boundaries and coercive practices, dealing with violence in the home and in the workplace, breaching confidentiality, and ensuring the rights and welfare of vulnerable individuals.

This book prompts and provokes readers to recognize, to analyze, to reflect upon, and to respond to the range of commonplace ethical concerns that arise in community mental health care practice with persons who have mental disorders that may impede their ability to protect their own interests.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"[...]not just another ordinary textbook on ethics. Those looking for a stimulating read and a wonderful resource [...] will be well served [...] This book has quite a bit of horsepower under the hood. There are many contributions by and references to contemporary public and community mental health heavyweights. Each chapter is exceptionally well-referenced[...] This is reliable information that could be readily adapted for policy development and staff training within an agency[...] Ethics in Community Mental Health Care would be excellent for a seminar for residents interested in community psychiatry. It has great potential for stimulating intellectual interest in current issues in community psychiatry that exceed traditional didactics."
(Anita Everett, MD in Psychiatric Services, 54:1 (January 2003)
