What is the role of the medical profession? and Where should the limits of medical intervention be set? In a world of rapid scientific and technological advance, public expectations place increasing demands on the doctors skills, and the scope of medical practice needs constantly to be redefined. Yet few guidelines exist on how to go about this. Liberating Medicine is designed to help doctors and health care professionals to understand the role, scope and purpose of their work, by showing that through heightened recognition of possible goals and potential limits, doctors will be more free to select the most beneficial targets for their health work, to plan their strategies for care freely within their practice, and to be able to liberate more fulfilling potentials in those for whom they care. Although rooted in theoretical analysis the book is essentially practical. It contains teaching exercises, a model which can be used to show doctors how close to the limits of practice they are, and a workable checklist for use in interactions with individual patients. All those involved in the study and practice of medicinebut particularly medical students and their teacherswill find this a thought-provoking, stimulating and innovative guide to the philosophical principles of medicine and how these can be applied to everyday practice.

Out of this debate have arisen many conflicts, but also many new initiatives which demonstrate a changing shape for health care practice and which mark a fresh trend towards caring for the whole persona move towards holism, equality and autonomy. This new trend forms the unifying theme of this collection of articles. Each describes a project or initiative set up by health workers which challenges traditional conventions and assumptions in medicine. The projects have been chosen from both hospital and community settings across a wide range of disciplines within nursing, medicine and health care. The book shows how practice is being reorientated by specific reforms and innovations, causing a range of objectives to emerge which lay new foundations for future health care policy. All who work within the medical and health care professions should read this book, particularly nurses, medical sociologists, psychologists, social workers, hospital administrators, community physicians, health education officers, general practitioners and health visitors.

This edition, which is even more readable than the first, includes additional case studies and teaching exercises, contains new material on ethical theory and offers two further decision-making tools - The Rings of Uncertainty and the Autonomy Test.

Intended for all who work in health care or health studies - indeed for anyone with an interest in health issues - this is a highly original, innovative and accessible work on a subject traditionally regarded as lofty and obscure.

A provocative and often controversial discussion of the philosophy of health care, the book clarifies the foundations for health promotion and education, and puts forward a more precise and comprehensive theory of health than has ever been offered before.

A mix of clinically relevant cases, many of which illustrate commonplace ethical dilemmas, offers doctors and students a variety of ways to enhance their practical reasoning abilities. With the aid of two decision-making tools - the unique Ethical Grid and a complementary Algorithm - fifteen medical scenarios are analysed. Often more than one solution is put forward, at which point the reader is challenged by exercises to develop the strongest possible justification for his or her preference. This colourful and imaginative book is intended for use in the design of courses for medical and other health care professionals, but is equally useful for independent study and practice. Practical Medical Ethics provides new skills and insights with minimum fuss and invigorating originality, and will enhance the talents of all who care for health.
