%0 Journal Article %A A Zucker %T Medical ethics as therapy %D 2006 %R 10.1136/jmh.2004.000207 %J Medical Humanities %P 48-52 %V 32 %N 1 %X 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. %U https://mh.bmj.com/content/medhum/32/1/48.full.pdf
