Gabard and Martin (physical therapy and philosophy, Chapman U.) present a text for physical therapists and students that integrates their practical interests with philosophical ethics. They consider ethics in terms of professionalism, diversity, honesty and conflicts of interest, integrity, leadership, justice and access to health care, and other topics. Reorganized into three sections, this edition has been revised, updated, and expanded to include a new chapter on caring, character, and principles, and has coverage of resolving ethical dilemmas, biomedical ethics, the ethics of care, cultural competency, spirituality, recent advances in neuroscience relevant to moral theory, and the relationship between professional and administrative ethics. It emphasizes application of theory to clinical practice and incorporates current research on how empathy and moral development relate to clinical competence.
