Reviews

"A compilation of essays written by a mix of academics and practitioners, the volume addresses the issue of ethics in both health and social care sectors. The editors argue that while debates on ethics have been addressed in healthcare publications, the field of social care has received scant attention. The aim of the book is to redress the balance. In this, it largely succeeds." Guardian Public "This book is an important contribution to the field of applied ethics ... The particular stength is its use of specialists to discuss particular areas of debate, offering useful guidlines to complex issues. It will undoubtedly be useful for students and workers across a range of professions related to health and social care." Health and Social Care in the Community Journal "This text is to be commended, with strong chapters relating to ethical dilemmas commonly addressed in the media and regularly confronted in health and social care. A stimulating read and one which will be of considerable use to students and practitioners." Susan Balloch, Professor of Health and Social Care, University of Brighton, UK
