Care ethics critiques independency, proposing relational autonomy instead of abandoning autonomy. This ethical perspective offers a new framework for understanding and applying autonomy in psychiatric care.

Area of Science:

  • Ethics
  • Moral Philosophy
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Care ethics offers a critique of the traditional ideal of independency.

  • Care ethics is sometimes perceived as vague and ambiguous in academic literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define care ethics as a moral perspective for ethical theorizing.
  • To demonstrate how care ethics reinterprets, rather than discards, the concept of autonomy.
  • To explore the practical application of relational autonomy in psychiatric care.

Main Methods:

  • Elaboration on the theoretical underpinnings of care ethics.
Keywords:
