Ethical decision making in the context of conflicting values takes on a fresh immediacy when the self itself is in conflict. This book brings the immediacy of a clinical case conference to a wide range of students and clinicians. The book provides both clinical case material and a method for engaging in a dialogue choices in the mental health care field.

This book explores how the technologies of medicine are created; how society, patients, and practitioners respond to the problems and successes of their use; and how this response changes them; in order to suggest fundamental ways to alter thinking and practice in health care and thereby more effectively meet the challenges of living with technological medicine.
