Teaching Business Ethics: A Faculty Seminar Model

Who is responsible for the increasing incidence of ethical misconduct in businesses? The short answer: the ones who committed the ethical misconduct are responsible. As these incidents receive more and more coverage in the news, however, it is fair to ask if there is shared responsibility. Does some of that responsibility fall to those who teach business? Is teaching the ethics of doing business deemed just as necessary as the requisite accounting, finance, and management skills? How should business schools respond to the call for more ethics training in their graduates

Health services, suicide, and self-harm:patient distress and system anxiety organisations and anxiety

Patients often become distressed in health settings, and provision of emotional support is a routine part of clinical care. However, in some situations, patient distress can become disturbing to both clinicians and patients, and can challenge [A: interfere with or affect?] ordinary therapeutic engagement. We argue that health systems that support people presenting with suicidal acts and self-harm are particularly at risk of providing maladaptive responses, which we have termed dysregulation. If health systems become dysregulated, staff and patients might find it difficult to think clearly and respond adaptively. We describe some common characteristics of dysregulation, including negative feelings about patients, an inappropriately narrow focus on diagnosis and risk assessment, and ad-hoc, abrupt, and inconsistent decision making. These dysregulated responses might impair more adaptive responses such as containment of distress, safety planning, and negotiated responsibility with patients and carers. We discuss the main drivers of dysregulation and the implications for clinical practice in the management of self-harm and suicide risk
