{"product_id":"virtuous-psychiatrist-the","title":"Virtuous Psychiatrist, The","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe context for this interdisciplinary work by a philosopher and a clinician is the psychiatric care provided to those with severe mental disorders.  Such a setting makes distinctive moral demands on the very character of the practitioner, it is shown, calling for special virtues and greater virtue than many other practice settings. In a practice so attentive to the patient's self identity, the authors promote a heightened awareness of cultural and particularly\n\u003cbr\u003egender issues. By elucidating the nature of the moral psychology and character of the good psychiatrist, this work provides a sustained application of virtue theory to clinical practice. With its roots in\n\u003cbr\u003eAristotelian writing, The Virtuous Psychiatrist presents virtue traits as habits, able to be cultivated and enhanced through training. The book describes these traits, and how they can be habituated in clinical training. A turn towards virtue theory within philosophy during the last several decades has resulted in important research on professional ethics. By approaching the ethics of psychiatric professionals in these virtue terms, Radden and Sadler's work provides an original\n\u003cbr\u003eapplication of this theorizing to practice. Of interest to both theorists and practitioners, the  book explores the tension between the model of enduring character implicit in virtue theory and the segmented personae\n\u003cbr\u003eof role-specific moral responses.  Clinical examples are provided, based upon dramaturgical vignettes (caseplays) which illustrate both the interactions of the case participants as well as the inner monologue of the clinician protagonist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156847587566,"sku":"9780195389371","price":155.36,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780195389371.jpg?v=1706256413","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/virtuous-psychiatrist-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
