Böcker av Stanley Joel Reiser

This book describes some technological advances made in the art and practice of medicine during the past three centuries.

Ethical decision making in the context of conflicting values takes on a fresh immediacy when the self itself is in conflict. This book brings the immediacy of a clinical case conference to a wide range of students and clinicians. The book provides both clinical case material and a method for engaging in a dialogue choices in the mental health care field.

This book explores how the technologies of medicine are created; how society, patients, and practitioners respond to the problems and successes of their use; and how this response changes them; in order to suggest fundamental ways to alter thinking and practice in health care and thereby more effectively meet the challenges of living with technological medicine.
