Exploring the Dynamics of Personal, Professional and Interprofessional Ethics

Although codes of conduct and ethics provide guidance, professionals have to exercise their own judgement in increasingly complex and demanding roles and work contexts when applying them to practice. At times, this can lead to conflict between personal, professional and interprofessional ethics due to the dynamics of the person-centred environment they function in.

This interdisciplinary book draws on the perspectives of 40 authors from four continents to explore the dynamics of ethical dilemmas using theory, research and practice-based examples. Overall, the book will help to spearhead the debate about these ethical dilemmas, and ways of working with them, in an informed manner. It will make ideal reading for students, academics and professionals.

Divya Jindal-Snape is Professor of Education, Inclusion and Life Transitions at the University of Dundee, UK. She has taught across a range of professions, namely education, community education, social work, educational psychology and health care, in India, Japan and Scotland. She is Director of the Transformative Change: Educational and Life Transitions (TCELT) Research Centre. This book emerged from research undertaken by TCELT.
