Clinical Ethics Support in Mental Healthcare
摘要
Ethical challenges are widespread in clinical practice within mental healthcare. Different clinical ethics support services are being increasingly implemented to facilitate the discussion and resolution of these ethical challenges. Multi-professional clinical ethics committees, for example, offer clinical ethics consultations to analyze and provide ethical recommendations for concrete clinical cases. Furthermore, clinical ethics committees offer training for healthcare professionals or develop policies and guidelines for mental healthcare institutions. This chapter provides an overview of clinical ethics support in mental healthcare, including an outlook on current developments towards discrimination-sensitive clinical ethics support.
