      La reconnaissance des droits du malade régit désormais la relation soignant-soigné. Cet ouvrage, ancré dans la réalité et dans le quotidien du personnel soignant et dans celui des patients, permet de se poser les justes questions touchant à des sujets délicats (dignité, souffrance, bienêtre...). Après avoir déroulé le cheminement éthique et historique ayant conduit à l’élaboration progressive des droits du patient, l’auteur procède à une analyse critique des textes de loi, et explique ce que ces droits impliquent tant pour les soignants que pour les patients : que signifie exactement « consentir » quand on aborde la question du « consentement du patient » ? Quelles limites trouve-t-on à la déclaration des « directives anticipées » ? Quelles sont les limites d’un protocole dans la notion de « respect de la dignité d’un malade » (le respect de la dignité relevant surtout d’une attitude, d’un rapport particulier à l’humain) ? Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants en formation initiale (paramédicale et médicale), aux professionnels engagés dans les différentes formations universitaires (DU, Masters) ainsi qu’aux familles des patients et aux membres des associations de malades.
