Opis

The aim of this unique text is to serve as a valuable resource and self-study guide for practitioners and trainees in the health disciplines covering the core competency areas of professionalism, ethics, and cultural sensitivity. The book will first provide a substantive foundation of knowledge in the principles, scholarship, policy guidelines, and decision-making strategies of the modern health professions. Second, the book will assist practitioners and trainees to prepare for the complex issues that arise each day in the settings where health professionals work and train - clinics, research centers, educational contexts, and communities. Third, the book will help readers prepare for "high stakes" professional examinations that include ethics, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity as core competency requirements. Such examinations include the National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Examination, the National Certified Addiction Counselor Examination, and the United States Medical Licensure Examination. This book will be the first of its kind to be published for diverse health disciplines. (With colleagues, I completed a similar book focusing specifically on ethics and professionalism in the mental health professions in 2008, and it has been met with success both in terms of sales and its adoption in key clinical training programs.) This proposed text will have two main sections. The first section will carefully overview major ethics, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity topics, including relevant principles and guidelines from diverse health disciplines (medicine, nursing, dental, psychology, social work, and related fields). The first section will also describe state-of-the-art decision-making strategies for resolving ethical dilemmas and for addressing culturally important issues encountered by health professionals in their everyday work. Illustrations in which the decision-making approaches are applied to real-world exam

Recenzje

"The purpose is to provide an understanding of the basic ethical principles involved in clinical medicine. The book demonstrates the importance of medical ethics education through hands-on training rather than classroom lectures. ... This is an excellent self-study resource for physicians and physicians in training who need an overview of medical ethics and its relationship to clinical medicine and research." (Tyler Zahrli, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2015)
