Description: Practical Guide to Clinical Ethics Consulting : Expertise, Ethos, and Power, Paperback by Meyers, Christopher, ISBN 0742548287, ISBN-13 9780742548282, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Meyers (philosophy, California State U., and Kern County Medical Center, Bakersfield) argues that ethics consultants need to have a philosophy-based perspective and that they must also address the concrete reality of working professionals and real-world problems. Th is based on his experiences as a clinical consultant, and his thesis is that training in theoretical and conceptual analysis skills is important, but he rejects the standard approach to clinical ethics. It is a general guide to doing ethical consulting for academics who teach the subject as well as practitioners. He discusses the need for ethical reasoning skills, political awareness, and empirical methodology, outlining a method of moral reasoning that uses theories from Tom Beauchamp and James Childress, Bernard Gert, virtue theory, and Patricia Werhane, in addition to the impact of social context in institutions. Therefore, it is not a prescription of what to do, but a general guide about skills, training, attitudes, and political sensibilities needed. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
