Ethical dilemmas in perinatal psychiatry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
This paper discusses ethical dilemmas that arise in parenting assessments on an in-patient Mother and Baby Unit with reference to one subject, a mother with schizophrenia who had been referred for a specialist opinion. The case raises ethical issues about the sometimes conflicting needs and wishes of mothers and their infants, and considers the requirements of the Children Act.
