Health Care Ethics
A Catholic Theological Analysis
, Fifth Edition

Benedict M. Ashley, O.P., Jean deBlois, C.S.J, Kevin D. O'Rourke, O.P.

ISBN: 9781589011168  
Georgetown University Press, Washington, DC.
 

"What was already a stellar theological compendium of health care ethics a decade ago has been fully revised to meet the challenges of a new century... Clearly rooted in the Catholic, natural law and personalist traditions, it astutely weighs diverse opinions within Catholicism, as well as alternative approaches from other Christian and non-religious thinkers... A treasure." —John F. Kavanaugh S.J., Director of Ethics Across the Curriculum, Saint Louis University

 

 

 

An Ethics Casebook for Hospitals
Practical Approaches to Everyday Cases

Mark G. Kuczewski, PhD, Rosa Lynn B. Pinkus

ISBN: 9780878407231

Georgetown University Press, Washington, DC.

 

The strength of these cases is their occasional complexity and reflection of the reality of day-to-day practice.… I highly recommend this book as an aid in the case-based teaching of medical ethics. Ethics committee members, medical students, and house staff of academic institutions should also find these cases useful in their continuing education." — Bioethics Forum


"This book represents a major step forward in the teaching of ethics and as such has the potential to become an indispensable tool for teachers and clinicians alike.… A unique feature of this book is that the cases exemplify a sample of ethical dilemmas that were submitted by representatives of hospitals.… Kuczewski and Pinkus have produced an indispensable addition to the bioethics literature.… a volume that is both undaunting and user friendly. As such it represents a valuable resource and tool for educating front line clinicians, ethics committees and administrators about bioethics." — Nursing Ethics

Practicing Bioethics
Editor(s):  Mark G. Kuczewski, PhD
The Practicing Bioethics series provides readers with insight into the professional practices by which bioethicists, physicians, nurses, and other health-care professionals address current ethical issues. These works cut through the usual back-and-forth of abstract arguments to examine how to resolve dilemmas in the clinic, at the bedside, and in the boardroom. The volumes address the teaching of professionalism to health-care professionals, clinical bioethics consultation, death and dying, and clinical genetics, to name a few. This series is ideal for use with undergraduate and graduate students of bioethics, as well as clinicians-in-training.

 

Healing as Vocation: A Medical Professionalism Primer
Edited by Kayhan Parsi, JD, PhD and Myles N. Sheehan, SJ, MD

This collection of essays provides educators in medicine and the health sciences an illuminating and challenging introduction to professionalism. The book takes a practical approach toward this topic, looking at what professionalism means, for the individual physician's relationship to his or her patients, to the medical profession as a whole, and to society at large. Written by leading scholars and thinkers in the area of professionalism in medicine, contributors provide a well-rounded analysis of this important topic. Although the intended audience is primarily physicians, medical students and residents, the book is a suitable primer for pre-professional health care students as well.
