Revitalizing Health Care Ethics: The Clinician’s Voice

This new book from Palgrave Macmillan is an attempt to understand the gap between the grounded, particularistic, fact-laden world of clinicians and the more abstract, often theoretical world of bioethicists. The book has no specific theoretical orientation and no axe to grind. What it does do is look carefully at professional education and training in health care and trace out the consequences for how health care clinicians (all fields) understand their work and how they identify and respond to situations involving clinical ethics.

As noted in the Foreword by Anthony Korner of the University of Sydney Medical School, the book was written “for clinicians, by clinicians,” and in that respect the book should prove to be a helpful resource for health care students and trainees and for clinicians at all levels. More broadly, however, we believe that the book’s efforts to understand clinical ethics in the context of health care professionals’ lifelong psychological, social, and professional development will help bioethicists understand their own challenges in trying to communicate with, and make themselves useful to, clinicians faced with real-world ethical challenges.
