Abstract

Dr. Eth's introduction: In July 1984 the first Ethics column appeared in the pages of H&CP, signifying the general interest and importance of ethical issues to mental health professionals. Since then, 17 articles have addressed such diverse topics as prosecuting patients for assault and using methadone as a research treatment for schizophrenia. Now, in the final column of this series, I survey some of the issues that illustrate the evolving nature of the ethical analysis of value conflicts in psychiatry.
