Rehabilitation professionals need to be grounded in moral principles in order to meet the needs of patients and effectively collaborate in interprofessional healthcare teams. Rehabilitation Ethics for Interprofessional Practice introduces a common language and theory for interdisciplinary ethics education and practice while establishing a moral foundation and guiding readers in how to put ethical principles into action. The text begins by describing the moral commons, a framework for ethical deliberation characterized by mutual respect for personal and professional identity, common language, inclusion of relevant stakeholders, and the dialogic process. The authors then describe the Dialogic Engagement Model (DEM), gives professionals a structure and space for learning and understanding within their teams as they strive to provide ethical patient care. Rehabilitation Ethics for Interprofessional Practice is forward-looking, grounded in both theory and practice. A resource for faculty and students across the rehabilitation sciences, it translates ethical principles into simple units that rule-based, ends-based, virtue-based, and narrative-based. It also focuses on: * Developing ethical comportment-not just beliefs and decisions, but also dispositions and actions * Embodying the moral standards of practice: humility, respect, openness, curiosity, honesty, and more* Cultivating engaged relationships in rehabilitation practice
