Infos

"e;The aspects of the book related to the philosophy of science and cognitive science (inductive and deductive reasoning, biases, and heuristics) are distilled in reasonable and useful ways. I recommend this book to those addiction professionals who want to create their own framework for ethical decision making."e;--PsycCRITIQUESEthical decision-making is required in many of the difficult situations faced by addiction professionals. In this guide, Michael Taleff describes how to integrate critical thinking with ethical decision-making. This is a guide not on "e;what to do"e; when confronted with difficult ethical dilemmas, but on how to think about what to do. The author presents common ethical dilemmas that addiction professionals face in their daily work--such as boundary issues, confidentiality, dual relationships, and more--and asks readers to consider their own responses to these dilemmas. The book then shows readers how to apply new models of ethical thinking to practice. Key features:Presents an ethical self-exam to encourage critical thinking about one's own decision-making methodIntroduces a variety of models such as the social contract theory, existentialist theory, and ethical egoismDiscusses how biases, emotional reactions, and fallacies can weaken ethical decision-makingPresents an introductory "e;Ethics Judgment Kit,"e; a simple, practical decision-making procedure for studentsThis book demonstrates how critical thinking skills can impact and improve the process of ethical decision-making.
