This book discusses and provides insight on the legal and ethical dilemmas of managing those with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). This book provides a clear perspective for those clinicians and legal professionals who are working with those with this disorder, and correspondingly increases their understanding when arranging effective supports for this population. Historically, the primary focus on FASD has been on children. However, this is a lifelong disorder, and the implications of this disorder become even more prominent and complex in adulthood. Those with this condition can struggle with impulsiveness, and a host of cognitive difficulties. This correspondingly impacts their independence and employability, and produces an elevated risk for homelessness and other residential issues, involvement in substance use, being exploited, development of behavioural issues, and subsequent legal difficulties. Their cognitive difficulties result in challenges for legal systems around the world to understand their issues, and to design appropriate remedial strategies, recommendations for treatments and supports, and even for understanding the failure of many of these individuals to be able to change their behaviours effectively. This produces various legal and ethical dilemmas, which are discussed in detail in this volume by 28 authors from Europe, New Zealand, and North America. These include discussions regarding the rights of the unborn child, the alcohol industry’s duty to warn, whether small amounts of alcohol during pregnancy can be condoned, and even the current use of involuntary hospitalization for addicted mothers. Other chapters discuss the need for training on FASD for front line officers, use of lies during interrogation of those with FASD, medical and legal interventions for offenders with FASD, access to diagnostic services and follow-up supports, and whether FASD can be considered a mitigating factor for sentencing.  Furthermore, caregivers also provide their stories regarding the daily dilemmas that are faced in raising those with FASD.

It details the promise, potential, and challenges of holistic services as patients seek diverse treatment options and health care systems address the demand for more affordable, accessible, and effective care. The book’s integrative model describes the process in theory and practice, from cost and reimbursement issues and turf wars between providers to expanding on traditional concepts of illness and wellness. Learning objectives, case studies, discussion questions, and other helpful features make this a vital student text. The book’s concentrated coverage: Introduces concepts of integrative health services. Applies integrative health concepts to public health areas, e.g., prevention. Contrasts integrative models of health with the traditional biomedical model. Describes health care systems, use, and disparities in integrative health services. Outlines the scope of integrative health practice. Reviews implications for the public health workforce.

This thought-provoking treatise argues that current human fertility rates are fueling a public health crisis that is at once local and global. Its analysis and data summarize the ecological costs of having children, presenting ethical dilemmas for prospective parents in an era of competition for scarce resources, huge disparities of wealth and poverty, and unsustainable practices putting irreparable stress on the planet. Questions of individual responsibility and integrity as well as personal moral and procreative issues are examined carefully against larger and more long-range concerns. The author’s assertion that even modest efforts toward reducing global fertility rates would help curb carbon emissions, slow rising global temperatures, and forestall large-scale climate disaster is well reasoned and more than plausible. Among the topics covered: · The multiplier effect: food, water, energy, and climate. · The role of population in mitigating climate change. · The carbon legacy of procreation. · Obligations to our possible children. · Rights, what is right, and the right to do wrong. · The moral burden to have small families. Toward a Small Family Ethic sounds a clarion call for bioethics students and working bioethicists. This brief, thought-rich volume steers readers toward challenges that need to be met, and consequences that will need to be addressed if they are not.

Een vernieuwende uitgave over verpleegkundige ethiek. Vele maatschappelijke en verpleegkundige evoluties maken het noodzakelijk dat duidelijke oriëntaties aangereikt worden over 'goede zorg' en 'excellente verpleegkunde'. Hoe kan de verpleegkundige zich aan het begin van de 21e eeuw blijven profileren als 'daadgeworden bekommeris' voor de hulpbehoevende medemens? Hoe verhoudt verpleegkunde zich tot haar traditie, de technologie en het ethisch debat in onze samenleving? Hoe kijken andere hulpverleners uit de gezondheidszorg zoals artsen, beleidsverantwoordelijken, pastores, docenten, ethici aan tegen de verpleegkunde als 'zorgzame praktijk'? In het eerste deel wordt getracht vanuit een meer theoretische benadering een eigen visie over verpleegkundige ethiek te ontwikkelen. De ethische betekenis van de verpleegkundige praktijk wordt vanuit verschillende invalshoeken beschreven. In het tweede deel staat de dialoog tussen theorie en praktijk centraal. Vanuit verschillende posities en functies in de gezondheidszorg wordt nagedacht over de ethische betekenis van de verpleegkunde. In het derde deel wordt een aantal verpleegdilemma's uit de dagelijkse praktijk besproken. Verpleegkundige excellentie nodigt u uit mee te denken over wat 'meer' is in de zorg. Het boek is gericht op het ruime publiek van verpleegkundigen en geïnteresseerden in de verpleegkundige ethiek en meer in het bijzonder leidinggevenden, docenten en (verpleegkundige) leden van commissies voor medische ethiek.
