Download or read book The Ethics of Diagnosis written by José Luis Peset and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-07-23 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major focus of the philosophy of medicine and, in general, of the philosophy of science has been the interplay of facts and values. Nowhere is an evaluation of this interplay more important than in the ethics of diagnosis. Traditionally, diagnosis has been understood as an epistemological activity which is concerned with facts and excludes the intrusion of values. The essays in this volume challenge this assumption. Questions of knowledge in diagnosis are intimately related to the concerns with intervention that characterize the applied science of medicine. Broad social and individual goals, as well as diverse ethical frameworks, are shown to condition both the processes and results of diagnosis. This has significant implications for bioethics, implications that have not previously been developed. With this volume, `the ethics of diagnosis' is established as an important branch of bioethics.

Download or read book La Relajacion written by R. Durand de Bousingen and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-07-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La relajación está cada vez más vigente. El ritmo acelerado de existencia, la sobrecarga de excitación de la vida cotidiana nos lleva a un estado de tensión nerviosa permanente, provocando la necesidad de una higiene física y psíquica que nos permita adaptarnos a nuevas condiciones de vida. Los métodos de relajación son conductas terapéuticas, reeducativas o educativas que utilizan técnicas elaboradas y codificadas y que se ejecutan específicamente en el sector tensional y tónico ce la personalidad. La relajación neuromuscular alcanza un "tono de reposo" base de una distensión física y psíquica. Este es el aspecto desarrollado en la primera parte del libro. La segunda parte, se centra en los métodos: el método analítico con un punto de partida fisiológico que se basa en los trabajos de fisiología muscular de E.Jacobson; los métodos globales con un punto de partida psicoterapéutico basado en el método de Schultz, y el entrenamiento autógeno con sus aspectos neurofisiológicos y psicológicos. La tercera parte nos expone como aplicar estos métodos en el hombre normal, en medicina psicosomática, en neuropsiquiátrica, en patología del trabajo, etc.

Download or read book Democracy and Ethnography written by Carol J. Greenhouse and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1998-09-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These ethnographic essays by scholars in anthropology, law, political science, folklore, public administration, medicine, and linguistics show contemporary connections between liberal democracy and ethnography. Each perspective explores a modern democratic site—courts, classrooms, legislatures, the media, academic professions, and bureaucratic routines. Together, they expose a contradiction—that official constructions of identity treat "differences" as both natural characteristics of individuals and the collective basis of interest groups. This contradiction hampers liberal states' efforts to acknowledge and accommodate the cultural diversity of citizens. They also show that official categories do not monopolize the available terms of understanding and identification, given the richness and flexibility of people's self-identifications outside official spheres. This recognition implies an ethnographic project at the heart of democratic change. The book develops two national case studies, the United States and Spain. Both countries have been invoked as models of multiculturalism, but their constitutional discourse and politics take very different approaches to issues of identity. Similarly, ethnographic disciplines have been involved in the officialization of difference in both countries, in different ways. Taken together, these differences and their common roots in the twinned histories of modern liberal democracy and the social sciences, provide ethnographic, reflexive, and comparative themes as well as broader theoretical and practical implications.

Download or read book Medical Malpractice and Compensation in Global Perspective written by Ken Oliphant and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this collection are drawn from a symposium held in Vienna in December 2010. Organised by the Institute for European Tort Law and the Chicago-Kent Law Review, in collaboration with the European Centre of Tort and Insurance Law, the conference drew together legal experts from 14 national or regional systems across six continents. Medical malpractice and compensation for medical injuries are issues which regularly create tension and innovation in national legal systems but the analysis of these areas is often limited to national audiences. This study examines the issues in a uniquely global context, demonstrating the breadth of approaches currently taken around the world and revealing key areas of tension and the likely direction of future developments. Wherever possible, the analysis is supported by reference to empirical data. The 14 legal systems covered in the collection are Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, Scandinavia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. A general comparative introduction completes the collection.

Download or read book Physicianship and the Rebirth of Medical Education written by J. Donald Boudreau and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renewal of medical curricula generally arises from emerging pedagogies (e.g. problem-based learning), new technologies (e.g. high fidelity simulation), or prevailing sociocultural forces (e.g. complexity of health care delivery and team-based care). Approximately 15 years ago, a team of physicians and administrators sought to take this further: by considering the very nature of medical practice and the patient-physician relationship that is the context and conduit of caring and care, they restructured the composition and function of medical education. This book, Physicianship and the Rebirth of Medical Education, is the authoritative publication on the philosophy, design, and implementation of this new curriculum. From first year to graduation, this book reimagines the education of medical students in its entire scope. It discusses the epistemology of clinical practice and pedagogical methods and addresses pragmatic issues of curricular implementation. The educational blueprint presented in the book rests on a new definition of sickness, one focused on impairments of function as the primary issue of concern for both patients and their care givers. This perspective avoids the common shift of medical attention from persons to diseases, and thus provides the basis for an authentic and robust patient-centered mindset. The title of the book refers to a "rebirth." This implies that there was a previous "birth." Indeed, the critical ingredients of medical education were articulated historically and many features emanate from a time-honored apprenticeship model. This book recognizes in William Osler and his "natural method of teaching the subject of medicine" the foundational elements for teaching physicianship. The practice of medicine is indelibly relational and, in turn, medical education is an intellectual and an emotional journey that is rooted in clinical relationships. As this book shows, medicine must unfold in the context of patient care; patients, not diseases, should be the center of attention.
