Reflective Practice in Clinical Ethics: A Workbook for Professional Development opens the way for critical self-reflection, encouraging readers to engage with their own fragments of experience as a means of developing their professional practice.
Grounded in a tradition of reflection and dialogue as key elements of clinical ethics work, readers are invited to critically engage with the complex moral experiences that emerge in clinical ethics and to consider the unavoidable, and sometimes challenging connections between personal and professional experiences. Chapters use stories and vignettes of clinical moments, framed between brief philosophical overviews. Reflective questions offer readers an opportunity to identify and consider the commitments, biases, and questions about practice that are inherent in clinical ethics work.
Shifting away from theories and procedural approaches to clinical ethics training and practice, this workbook offers clinicians and educators in clinical ethics with an alternative pedagogical approach based on experience and personal reflections to develop and improve professional practice and assist in teaching with students and trainees.
