Publisher's Synopsis

Was ist unter der vielbeschworenen, jedoch kaum hinterfragten 'Verantwortung des Arztes' zu verstehen? Die mit dem Stehr-Boldt-Preis der Universitat Zurich ausgezeichnete Arbeit versucht, dies fur den Arzt in seiner genuinen Tatigkeit im diagnostisch-therapeutischen Prozess naher zu bestimmen. Warum verdrangt der Begriff 'arztliche Verantwortung' den traditionellen Begriff 'arztliche Pflichten?' Ist der Arzt primar seinem Patienten gegenuber verantwortlich oder gar der Gesundheit der Bevolkerung? Welche Verantwortung folgt aus der konstitutiven Unsicherheit arztlicher Tatigkeit, wo doch weder der Erfolg noch das Ausbleiben unerwunschter Wirkungen garantiert werden kann? Lasst sich uber die arztliche Verantwortung Orientierung in strittigen Fragen wie der Abtreibung oder der Euthanasie erlangen? What do we mean by the frequently invoked yet seldom questioned physicians responsibilty? This study, which was awarded the Stehr-Boldt Prize by the University of Zurich, attempts to define this more closely for the physician in his real work as part of the diagnostic-therapeutic process. Why has the term physicians responsibility replaced the traditional term "physicians obligations? Is the physician primarily responsible for his patient or even for the health of the entire population? What responsibility is a result of the constitutive precariousness of the medical profession, in which there is no guarantee of success or of the absence of undesirable side effects? Is it possible to obtain guidance in dealing with controversial issues such as abortion or euthanasia by examining the physicians responsibility?
