Reading "physical therapy" from an ethics perspective.

Abstract

Physical therapists have an increasing need to incorporate an ethics perspective into their professional outlook. One way a physical therapist can become more proficient in recognizing morally significant data is to identify such data in articles written by physical therapists and other health professionals. An article should be evaluated according to the facts included or omitted, the loyalties expressed by the author, the life-view implied by the author, and the norms of good and right directing the author's thinking.
