Abstract

Issues concerning patients' rights are at the center of bioethics, but the political basis for these rights has rarely been examined. In 'Bioethics in a Liberal Society: The Political Framework of Bioethics Decision Making', Thomas May offers a compelling analysis of how the political context of liberal constitutional democracy shapes the rights and obligations of both patients and health care professionals. May focuses on how a key feature of liberal society -- namely, an individual's right to make independent decisions -- has an impact on the most important relational facets of health care, such as patients' autonomy and professionals' rights of conscience. Although a liberal political framework protects individual judgments, May asserts that this right is based on the assumption of an individual's competency to make sound decisions. May uses case studies to examine society's approach to medical decision making when, for reasons ranging from age to severe mental disorder, a person lacks sufficient competency to make independent and fully informed choices. To protect the autonomy of these vulnerable patients, May emphasizes the need for health care ethics committees and ethics consultants to help guide the decision-making process in clinical settings. 'Bioethics in a Liberal Society' is essential reading for all those interested in understanding how bioethics is practiced within our society.

Abstract

This book is the result of a long-standing clinical and educational cooperation between a medical psychologist (Bergsma) and a medical ethicist/philosopher (Thomasma). It is thoroughly interdisciplinary in its examination of the difficulties of honoring the patient's and the physician's autonomy, especially in light of the changes in health care worldwide today. Although autonomy has become the high standard of bioethics, little has been done to link it to the ways people actually behave, nor to its roots in the healing relationship. Combining as it does the disciplines of psychology and philosophy, this book is a step in that direction.

Abstract

Dit boek analyseert de rechtspositie van de arts in de arts-patiëntrelatie. Enerzijds wordt een dieper inzicht verschaft in de rechtspositie van de arts op zich en meer bepaald in het wettelijk monopolie, de professionele autonomie en de gewetensbezwaren van de arts. Anderzijds wordt ingegaan op de rechtsverhouding arts-patiënt en meer bepaald de medische behandelingsovereenkomst, de rechtspositie van de arts in de Wet Patiëntenrechten en de arts-patiëntrelatie vanuit mensenrechten en menselijke waardigheid.
