The definitive book on ethics for chemical dependency treatment professionals.

The treatment of addiction as a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual disease requires a high standard of ethical knowledge and professional skill. This groundbreaking, reader-friendly guide to contemporary ethical issues informs and challenges health care professionals, students, and faculty with a thorough and compassionate examination of the dilemmas faced when providing care for individuals suffering from substance use problems or addiction. Renowned psychiatric ethicists Cynthia Geppert and Laura Weiss Roberts tackle issues of autonomy, respect for persons, confidentiality, truth telling and non-maleficence--setting the standard for contemporary ethical practices. These challenges are illuminated with real-world case examples that show potential effects on diverse patient populations.
Industry Reviews
"I don't know where I've faced more ethical dilemmas--as an institutional review board chairman, an alcohol and drug clinical researcher, or a primary care physician--but I was relieved to find a book that can help us all systematically find the best solutions in areas where there often seem to be no right answers."
--Richard Saitz, MD, Boston Medical Center
"This book delivers on its promise: expert, eminently useable guidance on ethical issues regarding therapeutic relationships; harm reduction; co-occurring disorders; cultural and spiritual considerations; forensics; chronic pain; and issues with women, children, and teens."
--Howard A. Liddle, Ed.D., Director of the Center for Treatment Research on Adolescent Drug Abuse
"A judicious, compassionate consideration of ethical challenges."
--Robert L. DuPont, MD, First Director, National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
"The Book of Ethics will fill the gaps between the wide range of perspectives and practices that divide many who treat addictions."
--David Mee-Lee, MD, Psychiatrist Certified in Addiction Medicine
