Description

When we want to provide good care, we often take the will of care users as our starting point. However, how do we do this for vulnerable people who are highly dependent on care? This book offers a practical and theory-based method for ethical deliberation. It encourages care providers to engage in ethical empowerment, making their own ethically responsible decisions based on values, virtues and dialogue. This method is applied to important social developments that care providers are challenging today, from evolutions around networks and confidentiality, decision-making capacity and informed consent, assertive care and restriction of freedom to euthanasia. The foundation of this method is a relational care ethics, linking everyone who participates in care with the other parties involved. This relationship forms the link between the care user, the next of kin and the care providers. Good care starts from the connection between people.

This book will appeal to all professionals in the care sectors, as well as teachers and students of the ethics of care.
