Dieses interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Praxisbuch bietet Hilfestellung bei schwierigen ethischen Konflikten in psychiatrischen Arbeitsfeldern. Es informiert über Grundlagen und Rahmenbedingungen, gibt Kriterien für eine ethische Entscheidungsfindung an die Hand und diskutiert Fälle aus dem Arbeitsalltag aller beteiligten Berufsgruppen. Alle in der Psychiatrie Tätigen sind immer wieder mit drängenden ethischen Entscheidungen konfrontiert. In Konfliktsituationen ist es häufig schwierig, »gute« Psychiatrie zu betreiben, was zu Spannungen mit Patienten, Angehörigen und im Behandlungsteam führen kann. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die maßgeblichen Werte, Normen und Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten. Dabei werden ethische Fragestellungen und Argumente praxisgerecht aufbereitet. Die Autoren und Autorinnen vermitteln fallbezogen Orientierungshilfen für wichtige Entscheidungssituationen wie Suizidalität, Zwangseinweisung und Zwangsbehandlung.
