Inhaltsangabe

Addressing the nurse's personal and ethical development as a prerequisite to patient care, this text is based on the assumption that most people want and need to care for others. The act of caring then places the individual in a position where issues such as honesty, faithfulness, compassion, fortitude and respect for others are central concerns. The role of the professional carer is elaborated and explored in relation to the development of personal integrity. The book's main features include an investigation of ethical issues related to caring, the replacement of the notion of service and dedication with personal and ethical development, and central issues of abortion, euthanasia and suicide from the nurse's and the patient's point of view.
