Editorial Review:
Dilemmas arise out of the grey area where there are no clear-cut right or wrong answers. Expanding upon the objective of the acclaimed first edition, this new edition analyzes ethical and legal dilemmas typically faced by occupational therapists. The text covers situations likely to confront students, clinicians, and managers leaving them better prepared when there's no easy way out. Each of the chapters introduces case study scenarios that describe ethical dilemmas faced by occupational therapists followed by recognized experts' commentary on those issues. WHAT'S NEW New chapter (11) on informed consent in research examines the new regulations regarding human participants -- leads practitioners to offer more carefully measured responses when asked for information concerning their clients New chapter (8) on confidentiality during group work addresses how to deal with dilemmas and take the appropriate action when therapists or clients violate confidentiality New chapter (13) on ethical issues to consider when the practitioner is a whistle blower -- reviews reporting functions in an effort to better manage the fine line between maintaining the rights of the individual while maintaining policy Students demanded it, so it has been added -- a glossary of the most commonly used ethical and legal terminology. An assortment of boxes added throughout the chapters highlight important points in the text.
