Sommario/riassunto

The Oxford Handbook of Psychiatric Ethics (the OHPE) examines ethical issues in twenty-first-century psychiatry and sets them in their social and political context. Key contextual developments for contemporary psychiatry include the rapid expansion of electronic communications, multiculturalism, new models of service delivery and new technologies, more oversight within stronger standards-based regulatory frameworks, and the emergence of more clinically embedded forms of practical ethics. These developments are reflected in the wide range and diversity of contributions to the OHPE.
