In this new Architecture Brief, Ethics for Architects, Thomas Fisher presents fifty case studies representing a broad range of ethical dilemmas facing todays architects, from questions regarding which clients to work for, to the moral imperatives of reclaiming building materials for construction instead of sending them to landfills. This timely book features newly relevant interpretations adapted to the pervasive demands of globalization, sustainability, and developments in information technology.

Thought-provoking and essential, Ethics for Architects is required reading for any designer who wants to workresponsibly in today\'s complex world. This work brings together a wide range of perspectives on ethics and morality from formal research studies of practitioners\' dilemmas to theoretical and philosophical explanations of the ethics of psychotherapy. Numerous practical and thought-provoking insights from 25 years of professional experience in these fields aim to make this a useful text for any student, client, trainer, supervisor or practitioner. There are also useful examples of thinking structures for the analysis, learning and understanding of ethics as well as a selection of ethical dilemmas for practice and training, supervision, research and other professional purposes. Based on current research in psychotherapy outcome, this volume also places under the spotlight issues such as the relative importance of theoretical approaches to psychotherapy, and the relevance of values and ideology and the interests of professionalisation as well as the interests of patients. Now more than ever, ethical management in healthcare requires more than just a commitment to “doing the right thing.” It requires the ability to analyze highly complex situations in a volatile environment, to address the myriad needs and concerns of patients and other stakeholders, to thoughtfully evaluate diverse courses of action, and ultimately to choose the right path when the moral “rules” are not always clear. The Tracks We Leave: Ethics and Management Dilemmas in Healthcare, now in its third edition, provides guidance for current and future healthcare managers as they confront the ethical challenges of their day-to-day work. Through a host of relevant, timely scenarios and thought-provoking essays, the book examines ethics as a leadership imperative, describes organizational policies and infrastructure components that support an ethical culture, and presents a framework for ethical analysis that is both comprehensive and pragmatic.  Most neonates who now survive intensive care would have died 50 years ago, and nature would have decided the outcomes, making ethical discussions about initiating or withholding resuscitation irrelevant. Medical developments in neonatology have changed the way we respond to diseases of neonates, to their illness, and to their parents. Not only as physicians, but also as a society.Decisions on when to start, withhold, or withdraw life-saving interventions in critically ill neonates are among the most difficult decisions in pediatric practice. These decisions are fraught with ethical dilemmas, for example deciding whether withholding intensive care -leading to death- is superior to uncertain survival with a risk of disability and the additional burden of intensive care. This book covers important ethical questions that arise in neonatal intensive care units. Questions such as, whether to intervene medically and whether we are good at predicting the outcome of fragile neonates whether a medical intervention should be withheld or withdrawn, and who should be primarily responsible for these decisions and how? Children in precarious health present particular problems for healthcare professionals because of their intimate relation to their family, and because of the family\'s need to provide major long-term source of support and to be actively involved in the decisions about their children\'s care. This collection of cases and commentaries in pediatrics highlights the difficult ethical dilemmas that can arise during high-tech hospital care of children in precarious circumstances. It serves as a teaching tool for clinical ethics and as an introduction for medical students and residents. Clinical cases are described in detail by the physicians involved, who focus on the ethical issues arising during treatment. Each case is then commented on in detail by a philosopher or other bioethicist. It thus serves well as an introduction to contemporary clinical bioethics, but with a firm grounding in the practicalities of real-life pediatric care in the hospital setting. In the modern practice of medicine, new challenges complicate the ethical care of patients. Today s times require a contemporary take on the concept of medical ethics. Regrettably, there are few books and learning tools available to bring medical ethics education into the 21st Century. Existing texts are not practical or user-friendly.This book aims to address what has been missing in existing text books and ethics courses to date: clear-cut ethical and legal guidelines essential to the everyday practice of medicine, modernization of the teaching material to include common dilemmas seen in medicine today, connection between ethical practice and current evidence-based medicine, correlation of ethics teaching with education in cultural competence, and a user-friendly, innovative, and interesting format. Together, the authors have already collaborated for the last few years to collect numerous typical examples of ethically complex cases. Similar real-life scenarios are seen at all medical institutions across the country, and practitioners need a teaching tool to help them approach such cases.In this textbook, the reader will find: (1) Twenty-five typical patient scenarios are presented and supplemented with questions for consideration by the reader or class, (2) Evidence-based medicine, legal precedent, and ethical theory applying to each patient scenario is discussed, (3) Ethical dilemmas are enlivened with age, gender, and culture issues, (4) A patient-centered approach to ethical dilemmas is presented, (5) Emphasis is made on the six core clinical competencies of medical education in the Formulation section of each individual case (patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal skills and communication, professionalism, and systems-based practice), (6) The text includes a medical boards-style comprehensive exam to further challenge the reader and to assess their gained skills and knowledge.This book is written with several audiences in mind: medical students and residents, nursing students, pharmacy students, undergraduate and graduate students in medical ethics courses, and physicians desiring further training in medical ethics, cultural competency, communication skills, and medical board preparation. This valuable guide helps develop the critical thinking skills needed to become effective patient advocates. Pinpointing the systematic methods of reasoning through an ethical dilemma, this is the ultimate resource to resolving ethical issues in a system undergoing fundamental change. The fourth edition reflects contemporary issues such as informed consent, abortion, death and dying, and behavior control. Numerous case studies are also included Children in precarious health present particular problems for healthcare professionals because of their intimate relation to their family, and because of the family\'s need to provide major long-term source of support and to be actively involved in the decisions about their children\'s care.
