Ethical Issues in Mental Health


Overview

This topical book examines some of the key ethical issues that professionals face when caring for people with mental health problems. Written by a range of professionals, the book discusses the practical ethical dilemmas experienced by doctors, nurses, psychologists and social workers in providing quality care. Emphasis is given to examining ethical issues which have attracted most concern over the past decade, such as the relative autonomy of people with mental health problems and the influence of different therapeutic ideologies. The book attempts to establish some guidelines for ""good practice"" in mental health and should be attractive to all students and professionals working in the field. This book should be of interest to health professionals working with the mentally ill and mentally handicapped.
