Synopsis

This informative text is designed to provide a comprehensive and readable ethics textbook to meet the ethics education needs of all major allied health professions instructional programs. The focus is on the allied health professional's decision-making challenges when ethics issues arise within clinical practice and other major roles that professional assumes. Careful attention to effective teaching approaches (chapter objectives, opportunity to review, space for comments in the text itself, cross references, questions for thought and discussion, practical cases) is combined with relevant theory and practical content for persons in the allied health professions. Liberal use of line drawings, graphs, and cartoons clearly illustrate key points.
