This extract from Zussman’s (The contributions of sociology medical ethics. In M. Freeman (Ed.), Ethics and medical decision making. Routledge, 2001) chapter on the contributions of sociology to medical ethics sets out the somewhat troubled relationship between the disciplines, identifying their different sets of purposes as analogous to members of foreign lands. The sociology of dementia diagnosis proposed through this book requires an engagement with this troubled relationship. Ethics, as it is conceived in bioethics, represents a system of thought that shapes and informs the possibilities for action in the diagnosis of dementias; it is therefore central to the interactional encounters involved in the constitution of persons. This chapter seeks to examine this system of thought through its points of tension with situated enactments of ethicality in the practices of memory clinic work.

摘要

This extract from Zussman’s (The contributions of sociology medical ethics. In M. Freeman (Ed.), Ethics and medical decision making. Routledge, 2001) chapter on the contributions of sociology to medical ethics sets out the somewhat troubled relationship between the disciplines, identifying their different sets of purposes as analogous to members of foreign lands. The sociology of dementia diagnosis proposed through this book requires an engagement with this troubled relationship. Ethics, as it is conceived in bioethics, represents a system of thought that shapes and informs the possibilities for action in the diagnosis of dementias; it is therefore central to the interactional encounters involved in the constitution of persons. This chapter seeks to examine this system of thought through its points of tension with situated enactments of ethicality in the practices of memory clinic work.
