Abstract

The End of Modern Medicine chronicles the work of a small, influential band of medical theorists and clinicians who over the past decade have sought to redress the physical fundamentalism of the biomedical model that shaped their professional training. Laurence Foss challenges the prevailing medical model whereby mind and body are essentially separated, and charts a new "psychobiological" course. Asking fresh questions, raising new possibilities, probing long-established preconceptions, Foss presents a radically reconfigured medical model. This model accounts for the full range of findings in the experimental literature, most notably those surfacing over the past quarter century in psychophysiological studies which show a correlation between psychosocial variables and disease susceptibility that are in line with what more basic sciences tell us about the behavior of material systems and the nature of scientific explanation. Foss also critically analyzes the regulative ideals of today's medical research community and puts modern science itself, from which these ideals derive, under a microscope.

Abstract

This book highlights both the relation between technology and care, and the normative aspects of economic analyses in health care. A series of concrete examples from various clinical fields (prenatal diagnosis, genetic tests, digital imaging in psychiatry, tube feeding in care for the elderly, and palliative sedation) helps the authors to consider how to integrate these technologies in a care context aimed upon humaneness. Each topic is analysed by leading European clinicians and health care ethicists.

Abstract

This volume discusses the subject of biomedical ethics. Various views, historical and contemporary, are discussed, with the editors using the contrasting concepts in the shift from paternalism to autonomy in 20th-century medicine as a heuristic tool for the critical study of ethics in medicine.As far as the evidence in this volume goes, paternalistic medical practices and patient autonomy had an uneasy relationship by the beginning of the 20th century. A hundred years later, full autonomy in decisions on medical treatment is still subject to numerous caveats. The text pays close attention to the interplay between various players, noting how factors such as social contexts, governmental organizations and the biotechnological industry influence and shape responses to the principle of bioethics.

Abstract

Those who work in bioethics and the medical humanities come from many different backgrounds, such as health care, philosophy, law, the social sciences, and religious studies. The work they do also varies widely: consulting on ethical issues in patient care, working with legislatures, dealing with the media, teaching, speaking, writing and more.Writing as a participant in this developing field, Judith Andre offers a model to unify its diversity. Using the term ""bioethics"" broadly, to include all the medical humanities, she articulates ideals for the field, identifies its temptations a

In harmony with the universally accepted ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses, this book presents complex ethical issues and systematically guides the reader to ethical decision-making.Offering and expanded view of ethics, it now also includes Islamic and Hindu perspectives. Real life dilemmas in health care today are presented, including those related to HIV/AIDS, abortion, caring for the terminally ill and victims of violence. The book challenges nurses to take a moral action when faced with ethical issues in the course of their day-to-day work. It gives comprehensive coverage of ethics from diverse social, cultural, political and religious perspectives. It dissects ethical principles and issues with clarity and relevance. It presents numerous examples of real life situations that nurses face daily. It shows how to integrate ethics into the nursing curriculum. It demonstrates the practical application of the ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses. "Ethics in Nursing Practice" is an invaluable resource for nursing students, clinical nurses, nurse managers and academics worldwide.
