The  first is a description of a clinical ethics consultation, more  generously detailed than most that have been published, yet obviously  limited as a documentation of the experiences at its source. It is  followed by three examples of a second kind in the probing  commentaries by highly regarded figures in biomedical and clinical  ethics - François Baylis, Tom Tomlinson, and Barry  Hoffmaster. Finally, these are followed by a third variety of  reflection in the form of responses to those three commentaries, by  Bilton and Stuart G. Finder, and my Afterword - a further  reflection on some of the issues and questions intrinsic to clinical  ethics consultation and to these various essays. \u003cbr\u003e  The consultation itself was conducted by Bliton; but Finder not only  assisted at one point (he is the `colleague' mentioned in Bliton's  manuscript) but frequently participated in the discussions that are  invariably part of our clinical ethics consultative practice in our  Center for Clinical and Research Ethics at Vanderbilt University  Medical Center. It was thus natural for Finder to participate in the  response. \u003cbr\u003e  Each of these essays is fascinating and important on its own;  together, however, they constitute a truly unusual and, we believe,  very significant contribution that will hopefully figure prominently  in subsequent discussions, and in shaping and deepening an endeavor  - clinical ethics - still in much-needed search of its  own discipline, method rationale and place in the domain of clinical  practice more generally. This group of essays is also quite unique,  addressing as it does the coherence of a form of practice -  and, it must be emphasized, several forms of writing about as well as  theoretical proposals for understanding that practice - whose  current and future character remains very much in contention. \u003cbr\u003e  That a situationsuch as the one discussed here often provokes strong  and passionate responses will be no surprise \u0026amp;endash; whether because  of its relative novelty, its risky nature, the high stakes involved,  or something else. It is in any event a striking feature of ethics  consultations that the people directly or even indirectly involved  tend at times to feel rather passionately about what is said (and not  said), what is done (and not done), and what is then reported (or, it  may be, left out). Even so, such energetic feelings, much less the  candor of my colleague's response to such passion, are rarely if ever  apparent from published reports. For this reason alone, a considerable  debt of gratitude is surely owed to our commentators \u0026amp;endash;  reflective and deliberative, yet passionate and forceful as each of  them are.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-05-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792357056\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2556-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 118\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358565003404,"sku":"9780792357056","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792357056.jpg?v=1775013049","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792357056","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
