内容説明
This text covers the ethical dilemmas that are becoming more prevalent in the neurologist's everyday practice. Among the patients a neurologist sees are those with incurable diseases, debilitating disorders, and diseases with concomitant psychiatric problems. This book reviews the important works on the subject, identifies the areas of controversy and consensus, provides an account of those areas that remain unresolved, and makes practical recommendations for the clinician. Medico-legal cases are integrated where high court judicial decisions were rendered using ethical analyses in their judgements.
