- Summary:
- Bergsma (medical psychology, Loyola U. of Chicago) and Thomasma (medical ethics and philosophy, Loyola U. of Chicago) examine the difficulties of honoring the patient's and the patient's and the physician's autonomy, especially in light of the changes in health care worldwide. Like many professionals, they are dissatisfied with standard accounts of autonomy in bioethics and the philosophy of medicine, but rather than disregard it or downplay it as minor, they incorporate insights from both of their disciplines to construct a synthesis of the two around the identity of the sick, their capacities to be healed, and the capacities of the healers themselves.
