Reviews

This is appropriate for a wide range of audiences. Clinicians, especially neurologists and psychiatrists, will find that it illuminates ethical issues associated with topics in their field, and bioethicists writing on neuroethics will find that it provides insights into how neuroethics matters in the delivery of healthcare. The contributors, most of whom are practitioners and not primarily ethicists, explain basic medical, legal, and ethical concepts in the field, so it is not necessary to be well versed in neuroethics to appreciate this book... an excellent contribution to the growing body of literature on neuroethics. * Doody's Notes, May 2013 *

<br> This is an excellent contribution to the growing body of literature on neuroethics. I find it useful as a resource and as a discussion starter. Other books, such as The Oxford Handbook of Neuroethics, Illes and Sahakian (Oxford University Press, 2011), have some articles that address issues relevant to practice, but this is the only book dedicated entirely to that purpose. -- DOODY'S<br><p><br>

This is an excellent contribution to the growing body of literature on neuroethics. I find it useful as a resource and as a discussion starter. Other books, such as The Oxford Handbook of Neuroethics, Illes and Sahakian (Oxford University Press, 2011), have some articles that address issues relevant to practice, but this is the only book dedicated entirely to that purpose. -- DOODY'S Neuroethics in Practice: Medicine, Mind, and Society, edited by Anjan Chatterjee and Martha Farah, reflects a shift in the neuroethics field from a relatively circumscribed focus on conflicts arising from scientific inquiry itself to its endpoint of use in the larger culture of health care and society in general. This book would best be used as an indispensable reference for those interested in the ethical considerations specific to neuroscience and its related clinical fields, as well as a starting point for consideration of ethical conflicts encountered frequently in clinical practice. Graduate and medical students would likely benefit the most from the thorough consideration of the many ethical challenges addressed in this book. - Nicolette Gabel and Kenneth M. Adams, PsycCRITIQUES
