Ethics of diagnosis – somatisation disorder Dr Louise Stone and Prof Ian Kerridge. In this seminar we explore the ethical implications of making diagnoses. We will discuss ontological and epistemological issues in diagnosis and their connection with health systems, treatments and culture, and explore somatisation disorder as a case study.
