They write: this book "is a most welcome addition to the tools available to those responsible for the formation of practitioners within the healthcare system and for the organizations whose mandate is to ensure that the professions conduct themselves in a way that merits societal trust. It is a powerful combination of theory, that allows us to understand the task at hand, and practical guides for its implementation. The section entitled 'You be the judge' is particularly useful as it highlights the points of tension inherent in practice and allows learners to reflect on these issues in a safe environment."
