Feminist Perspectives in Medical Ethics PDF By:Helen B. Holmes,Laura Martha Purdy Published on 1992 by Indiana University Press The fields of medical ethics and women's studies have experienced unprecedented growth during the last twenty years. Along with the rapid pace of development in medicine and biology and changes in social expectations, moral quandaries about the body and social practices involving it have multiplied. Philosophers are uniquely situated to attempt to clarify and resolve these questions. Until recently, however, the subdiscipline of biomedical ethics has reflected mainstream scholars' lack of interest in gender as a category of analysis.

Within this book, the editors have addressed the call by leaders within the profession to ensure that an occupational perspective shapes the skills and strategies used within occupational therapy practice.

Philosophical issues in psychiatry III PDF By:Kenneth S. Kendler,Josef Parnas Published on 2014-10-02 by OUP Oxford Psychiatry has long struggled with the nature of its diagnoses. The problems raised by questions about the nature of psychiatric illness are particularly fascinating because they sit at the intersection of philosophy, empirical psychiatric/psychological research, measurement theory, historical tradition and policy.

It includes contributions from philosophers of science with an interest in psychiatry, psychiatrists and psychologists with expertise in the hi...
