商品簡介
In a book "dedicated to all healthcare professionals who did the right thing, when the right thing was very, very difficult," clinical ethicist Banja (rehabilitation medicine, Emory U., Atlanta) presents the concept of "medical narcissism" to explain failure to disclose medical errors. The author offers insights into how professionals' self-esteem issues may subvert patients rights and advice on communicating about errors based on an emphatic model. He believes that ethical practice can be taught. Appendices discuss a neurologically-based model of rationalization, and the nature of pathological narcissism from a psychoanalytic perspective.
