About this product

Product Information

In this exploration of the doctor-patient decision-making process, the author examines the belief in the virtue of silent care and patient compliance. Historically, the doctor-patient relationship has been based on a one-way trust - despite judicial attempts to give patients a greater voice through the doctrine of informed consent. Katz criticizes doctors for encouraging patients to relinquish their autonomy and demonstrates the detrimental effect their silence has on good patient care. He sees a growing need in the age of medical science and sophisticated technology for more honest and complete communication between physician and patients and advocates an informed dialogue which respects the rights and needs of both sides. In a new foreword to this edition, Alexander Morgan Capron outlines the changes in medical ethics practice which have occurred since the book was first published in 1984, paying particular attention to the hotly debated issues of physician-assisted suicide and informed consent in managed care.
