Hardcover. Zustand: Good. pp. 297 English Ethical Dimensions of Geriatric Care: Value Conflicts for the 21st Century. Edited by Stuart F. Spicker (School of Medicine, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, Connecticut, U.S.A.), Stanley R. Ingman (Dept. of Family and Community Medicine, University of Missouri at Columbia, U.S.A.) and Ian R. Lawson (School of Medicine, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, Connecticut, U.S.A.). This 25th volume in the Philosophy and Medicine series is devoted to numerous ethical and value conflicts involved in the clinical care of the aged and very elderly at the stage of transition to the 21st century. The work pays special attention to the U.S. experience but is also pertinent to a wider variety of disciplines: geriatric, internal and psychiatric medicine; nursing, medical sociology, political science, health law, journalism, public health, ethics and moral philosophy. The volume focuses on four themes: (1) understanding the biology and epidemiology of aging; (2) philosophical reflections on medical care provision for the aged; (3) self-determination in late-life dependency; (4) justice in the provision of medical care for the aged. The book ends with an epilogue on the transition to the eighth stage of humanity: the prosthetic era. D. Reidel Publishing Company, Dordrecht/Boston/Lancaster/Tokyo. TABLE OF CONTENTS ? Richard W.

Review ? ?The editors have brought together in one volume a wide range of disciplines on a topic of growing importance. Ethics is rightly located in a socio-historical context, and the myth that ethical principles can be meaningful apart from their social context is dispelled as one reads the essays. The contributors illuminate ethical dilemmas from two philosophical and ideological poles ? the dominant American perspective or ideology of individualism and the more European tradition of collectivist thought. The work provides some surprises for the reader. One essay on suicide and the aged may even startle some academics, since one author suggests that suicide in old age could conceivably become the accepted moral decision in societies where the collectivity has decided not to provide adequate care of the so-called frail aged. There is no doubt about the relevance and significance of these topics to social and health policy for the aged. This volume should be read by academicians and clinicians alike who work in health and aging.? ? Professor Carroll L. Estes, Director, Institute for Health and Aging, University of California, San Francisco. D. Reidel Publishing Company, Dordrecht/Boston/Lancaster/Tokyo. …
