Performance, Talk, Reflection What Is Going on in Clinical Ethics Consultation

In the following essays discussing clinical ethics consultation, three sorts of reflective writing are presented. The first is a description of a clinical ethics consultation, more generously detailed than most that have been published, yet obviously limited as a documentation of the experiences at its source. It is followed by three examples of a second kind in the probing commentaries by highly regarded figures in biomedical and clinical ethics -- Francois Baylis, Tom Tomlinson, and Barry Hoffmaster. Finally, these are followed by a third variety of reflection in the form of responses to those three commentaries, by Bilton and Stuart G. Finder, and my Afterword -- a further reflection on some of the issues and questions intrinsic to clinical ethics consultation and to these various essays.Zaner, Richard M. is the author of 'Performance, Talk, Reflection What Is Going on in Clinical Ethics Consultation' with ISBN 9780792357056 and ISBN 0792357051.
