The Oxford Handbook of Psychiatric Ethics (the OHPE) examines ethical issues in twenty-first-century psychiatry and sets them in their social and political context. Key contextual developments for contemporary psychiatry include the rapid expansion of electronic communications, multiculturalism, new models of service delivery and new technologies, more oversight within stronger standards-based regulatory frameworks, and the emergence of more clinically embedded forms of practical ethics. These developments are reflected in the wide range and diversity of contributions to the OHPE. In addition to well-established areas of scholarship our contributors cover a variety of new and emerging topics: notable among these are peer support, co-production and other collaborative models of care, recovery, spiritual and religious aspects of psychiatry, non-European philosophy, and the emerging role of values-based practice. Diversity of content is further complemented by the diversity of perspectives represented by our contributors. Besides established figures in psychiatric ethics our authors include many new contributors to the field from disciplines representing both expertise-by-training (in areas ranging from philosophy to neuroscience) and expertise-by-experience as service users and/or as carers. The central importance of this latter perspective is reflected in our opening main section which brings together a small sample of the rapidly expanding expert voices from experience. We hope that read in conjunction with its sister volume, the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry, and other books forthcoming in the series, the OHPE will contribute to the development of more collaborative models of service delivery as the basis of twenty-first-century mental health care.

This open access book offers essential information on values-based practice (VBP): the clinical skills involved, teamwork and person-centered care, links between values and evidence, and the importance of partnerships in shared decision-making. Different cultures have different values; for example, partnership in decision-making looks very different, from the highly individualized perspective of European and North American cultures to the collective and family-oriented perspectives common in South East Asia. In turn, African cultures offer yet another perspective, one that falls between these two extremes (called batho pele). The book will benefit everyone concerned with the practical challenges of delivering mental health services. Accordingly, all contributions are developed on the basis of case vignettes, and cover a range of situations in which values underlie tensions or uncertainties regarding how to proceed in clinical practice. Examples include the patient’s autonomy and best interest, the physician’s commitment to establishing high standards of clinical governance, clinical versus community best interest, institutional versus clinical interests, patients insisting on medically unsound but legal treatments etc. Thus far, VBP publications have mainly dealt with clinical scenarios involving individual values (of clinicians and patients). Our objective with this book is to develop a model of VBP that is culturally much broader in scope. As such, it offers a vital resource for mental health stakeholders in an increasingly inter-connected world. It also offers opportunities for cross-learning in values-based practice between cultures with very different clinical care traditions.
