| Annotation | More than 700 concise entries on the most important ethical issues in medicine have been contributed by leading experts and practitioners in medicine, nursing, allied professions, health policy, anthropology, law, philosophy and theology. Subjects range from the doctor-patient relationship, confidentiality, and health service management to controversial subjects such as AIDS and euthanasia. The ethical dimensions of disciplines such as general practice, nursing, and psychiatry are explored. The four principles - autonomy, beneficence, justice, and non-maleficence - are also explained.
