Professional ethics may be understood with reference to the profession’s articulated code of ethics. The codes, understood as rules or as principles, may or may not anticipate the complexities that arise in clinical practice and professional life. This presentation will look at a number of specific cases that illustrate the kinds of tensions that may arise in clinical practice.
