RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Medical ethics as therapy JF Medical Humanities JO J Med Humanit FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Institute of Medical Ethics SP 48 OP 52 DO 10.1136/jmh.2004.000207 VO 32 IS 1 A1 A Zucker YR 2006 UL http://mh.bmj.com/content/32/1/48.abstract AB In this paper, the author examines a style of teaching for a medical ethics course designed for medical students in their clinical years, a style that some believe conflicts with a commitment to analytic philosophy. The author discusses (1) why some find a conflict, (2) why there really is no conflict, and (3) the approach to medical ethics through narratives. The author will also argue that basing medical ethics on the use of narratives has problems and dangers not fully discussed in the literature.
