Summary:

Ethical issues are pivotal to the practice of psychiatry. Anyone involved in psychiatric practice and mental healthcare has to be aware of the range of ethical issues that affect their profession. An increased professional commitment to accountability, in parallel with a growing 'consumer' movement has paved the way for a creative engagement with the ethical movement.

The bestselling Psychiatric Ethics has carved out a niche for itself as the major comprehensive text and core reference in the field, covering a range of complex ethical dilemmas which face clinicians and researchers in their everyday practice. This new edition takes a fresh look at recent trends and developments at the interface between ethics and psychiatric practice.

Coming ten years after the third edition, the editors have observed several emerging aspects of psychiatric practice requiring coverage, and as a result, 5 new chapters have been added, including cutting edge topics such as neuroethics. All other chapters in the book have been fully revised and updated. The book will continue to be essential reading for psychiatrists, psychologists, other mental health professionals, and bioethicists. It will also be of interest to policy makers, managers, and lawyers.
