Physical Therapy Ethics

Synopsis

This user-friendly text is a thought-provoking introduction to the professional ethical dilemmas that physical therapists routinely encounter. Stories drawn from real-life cases bring an interactive, practical perspective to ethical and philosophical concepts that might otherwise be difficult to grasp. Frequently referring to the APTA Code of Ethics and Guide for Professional Conduct, this comprehensive book defines and identifies ethical dilemmas and paves the way toward analysis and resolution. "By discussing and presenting the issues in a practical application focus, ethics is taken off the shelf and put into daily practice." -- Denise A. Wise, PT, PhD, College of Saint Scholastica, Duluth, Minnesota
