Summary

Ethics by Committee was developed for tens of thousands of people across the United States who serve on hospital ethics committees (HECs). Experts in bioethics, clinical consultation, health law, and social psychology from across the country have contributed chapters on ethics consultation, education, and policy development. The chapters discuss important considerations for HEC members such as promoting just and ethical organizations, developing cultural and spiritual awareness, and preparing for the forces of group dynamics in committee discussions and consensus building. No other book on the market offers the diversity of perspectives and topics while remaining focused, clear, and useful. Book jacket.
