All managers face difficult choices — relating, for example, to conflicts of interest between various stakeholders; political imperatives; resource allocation or staff management decisions. This chapter explores some of the ethical conflicts and dilemmas that arise for managers of community practice. It uses two case studies relating to regeneration and mental health work to illustrate how managers conceptualise and handle ethical dilemmas and demonstrates how their practice embodies certain core values or principles.Less

Ultra-orthodox Jews in Jerusalem are isolated from the secular community that surrounds them not only physically but by their dress, behaviors, and beliefs. Their relationship with secular society is characterized by social, religious, and political tensions. The differences between the ultra-orthodox and secular often pose special difficulties for psychiatrists who attempt to deal with their needs. In this book, two Western-trained psychiatrists discuss their mental health work with this community over the past two decades. With humor and affection they elaborate on some of the factors that make it difficult to treat or even to diagnose the ultra-orthodox, present case studies, and relate their observations of this religious community to the management of mental health services for other fundamentalist, anti-secular groups.Less
