Drawing on years of fieldwork in a community psychiatry outreach team, Brodwin traces the ethical dilemmas and everyday struggles of frontline providers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the street, in staff room debates, or in private confessions, these psychiatrists and social workers confront ongoing challenges to their self-image as competent and compassionate advocates. At times, they openly question the coercion and forced-dependency built into the current system of care. At other times, they justify their use of extreme power in the face of loud opposition from clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis in-depth study exposes the fault lines in today's community psychiatry. It shows how people working deep inside the system struggle to maintain their ideals and manage a chronic sense of futility. Their commentaries about the obligatory and the forbidden also suggest ways to bridge formal bioethics and the realities of mental health practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe experiences of these clinicians pose a single overarching question: how should we bear responsibility for the most vulnerable among us?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430668026092,"sku":"9780520274792","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520274792.jpg?v=1774558799","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/everyday-ethics-by-paul-brodwin-9780520274792","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
