It will evaluate the philosophical and sociological meanings of the word profession as it relates with ethics and status in a community. Chapter 8 on Responsibilities, Competence and Confidentiality is enriched  with the discussion on the guidelines for all health-care practitioners who may be asked to provide or release patient information. Likewise, it will identify in what circumstances confidentiality may be waived. Chapter 9 on the Patient-Therapist Relationship, the topic on Tort of Negligence is now included. It highlights the concepts of malfeasance, misfeasance and nonfeasance. The reader will also find the requirements provided by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) on the safety of the patient." --Preface
