This case conference concerns a child who has been in care following a diagnosis of emotional abuse and a serious incident of physical abuse. She wants to return home again, and her parents, who had previously scapegoated her, now blame the family's previous ills on her sister instead. The Children Act 1989 gives considerable weight to the child's wishes, but what if the child returns home and is re-abused? In this case conference a child psychiatrist, a philosopher and a lawyer discuss the issues of clinicians' responsibilities, moral luck, and child care law.
本次案例研讨会涉及一名儿童,该儿童在被诊断为遭受情感虐待以及发生一起严重身体虐待事件后一直受到照料。她想再次回家,而她的父母此前一直将问题归咎于她,现在却把家庭以前的问题转而归咎于她的妹妹。1989年《儿童法》相当重视儿童的意愿,但如果孩子回到家后再次受到虐待该怎么办?在本次案例研讨会上,一名儿童精神科医生、一名哲学家和一名律师讨论了临床医生的责任、道德运气和儿童保育法等问题。
