Knowing and practicing ethics.
The interrelationship between ethics and child and adolescent psychiatry is discussed, particularly as it relates to clinical practice. Three principles for ethical clinical practice are presented from a philosophical perspective and illustrated with two case vignettes. A formulation is reached that states that ethical theory parallels clinical theory.
