Ethics, Culture, and Psychiatry: International Perspectives

Rapid scientific developments can obscure the more important role of ethics. The editors of this volume are to be congratulated for recognizing and fulfilling an obligation to the field.Psychiatric ethics suffers from the fact that ethical values differ among cultures. That which is highly valued in one setting may not be highly valued in another. The editors have addressed this problem by inviting experts from different cultural backgrounds to present culturally relevant material. It often seems to the practitioner of psychiatry that ethical practice is simple—just do the right thing! Reading these chapters is humbling in that it becomes quite clear that what is the right thing in one culture is not in another. This does not mean that there are no generally agreed-on fundamentals, but there are many, many important variations.The editors reserve some chapters for specific topics such as informed consent. These specific areas are complex, and the authors do an excellent job of presenting the material in a measured and thoughtful, as well as thought-provoking, fashion. The reader will leave this volume not only better informed but also stimulated to reflect on these important issues.An example may help to illustrate the complexity of the problems faced. In many parts of the West it is considered unethical to perform a placebo-controlled trial if there is in fact an effective treatment. Recently, an HIV trial was to be conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the problem of AIDS is pandemic. The investigators wished to find out if significantly lower than usual doses of retroviral medications would be more effective than placebo. If in fact this were true, the cost of treatment could be markedly reduced. Was it ethical to withhold the treatment from the placebo control group? Are the potential results of sufficient importance to override these concerns? Clearly, thoughtful individuals could differ in their conclusions. There will always be a tension between the rights of the individual and the rights of the group.There is one issue that is omnipresent in the volume but never resolved. Is there a universal, unchanging Code of Ethics—whether God-given or arrived at by human consensus—or is there an evolving code that varies as a function of time and place? Students of ethics disagree on this question, yet its importance is real. Perhaps the best resolution is to recognize that there are components of a universal Code of Ethics that will be applied differently in different settings as a function of culture and resources but that other components will vary dramatically over time.Edited by Ahmed Okasha, Julio Arboleda-Florez, and Norman Sartorius.

Geo Search Co Ltd and the Mine Eye Project

The Case Study section of the International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation serves two purposes. First, the case studies presented are concerned with problematical issues that are pertinent to students of entrepreneurship. Thus they constitute appropriate teaching and learning vehicles on a variety of postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. Each case study is accompanied by a set of guidelines for the use of tutors. Second, it is envisaged that those engaged in entrepreneurial activities will find the cases both interesting and useful. Submissions for this section will be welcome. Cases will deal with contemporaneous issues. When necessary they will be anonymous, but where direct reference is made to specific individuals or organizations authors will be asked to acquire permission to use names. The editors reserve the right to ask for written permission from any named person or organization. Case studies should be no longer than 3,000 words. A glossary of terms should be provided where appropriate.

What Led to the Strike?

In the January 1989 issue [of Sotsiologicheskie issledovaniia], the editors published a roundtable entitled Strikes in the USSR-A New Social Reality [translated in the March-April 1990 issue of Soviet Sociology], which opened up a firmly sealed topic. Our presentation proved to be timely: the following year was marked by mass strikes in the country's principal coal basins. Over the past eighteen months there have appeared quite a few new and interesting (although very uneven) articles on this issue, which we bring to our readers in the form of a topical selection. In the three articles published below, by Mal'tseva and Puliaeva, V. Britvin, and G. Kubas', we have tried as much as possible to reflect different aspects of the problem and the current level of its analysis by sociologists. The editors reserve the prerogative to return to this topic in the future as we receive responses and new materials about strikes, labor conflicts, and social tension in the sphere of production. This issue comes out ex...

On the Lookout

Welcome to "On The Lookout," designed to put readers in touch with resources in practice and research that may be helpful but are not easily located. These briefs will let you know about such things as innovative service programs for women, a monograph or report not found in the usual publication sources, or a creative research strategy particularly responsive to women. This statement of purpose also asks potential contributors to send us items that fall within the scope of this column. Practitioners and researchers may appreciate short reports on new developments—an innovative entry point to a community for research purposes, a report about a particularly interesting women's program, a monograph on a social policy issue available through a specialized source, or a new kind of service for women. Also, research in progress or requests for participants in research may be included. A central feature will be specifics as to how to reach the information source should the reader wish to pursue the item further. We will not evaluate the item except for potential reader interest and therefore cannot take responsibility for the accuracy or validity of any item. We ask our readers to carry the task of further inquiry, go directly to the source for more information and not to AFFILIA. Submission to this department should be no more than one hundred words and should include name, address, and any other pertinent information including cost so the reader may follow up. The editors reserve the right to edit abstracts for brevity and clarity. Please let us know your reactions and questions and send us items for the column. We hope you will be regular readers and contributors as we begin ....
