(2015) A critical examination of ethics in health care and biomedical research, Dordrecht, Springer.
I should confess at the outset that each time I have set out to write something introductory about the medical humanities, even more about clinical ethics, the attempt seems to take on a life of its own, proceeding through undergrowths of first one then another set of bristling themes, questions and issues, leaving me unable to decide what to include and what to leave out. The point is that all of these issues, questions and themes seem to me essential for gaining any serious understanding of this apparently unruly field, the medical humanities or bio-ethics, especially in its clinical involvements. The point is also that it will take some time for me to work my way into these themes and schemes that lie beneath them. I ask for patience, then, to allow me to begin this chore, which I continue to regard as among the more important of our times.
