Behind Closed Doors: IRBs and the Making of Ethical Research (Morality and Society Series)
Although the subject of federally mandated Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) has been extensively debated, we actually do not know much about what takes place when they convene. Medical books Behind Closed Doors. The story of how IRBs work today is a story about their past as well as their present, and Behind Closed Doors is the first book to meld firsthand observations of IRB meetings with the history of how rules for the treatment of human subjects were formalized in the United States in the decades after World War II.
Drawing on extensive archival sources, Laura Stark reconstructs the daily lives of scientists, lawyers, administrators, and research subjects working—and “warring”—on the campus of the National Institutes of Health, where they first wrote the rules for the treatment of human subjects. Stark argues that the model of group deliberation that gradually crystallized during this period reflected contemporary legal and medical conceptions of what it meant to be human, what political rights human subjects deserved, and which stakeholders were best suited to decide. She then explains how the historical contingencies that shaped rules for the treatment of human subjects in the postwar era guide decision making today—within hospitals, universities, health departments, and other institutions in the United States and across the globe Medical books Washington:Behind Closed Doors. This award-winning miniseries inspired by the Nixon presidency stars Cliff Robertson (Charly), Jason Robards (All the President's Men), Stefanie Powers (Hart to Hart), and Robert Vaughn (The Magnificent Seven). Based on the book by Nixon staffer John Ehrlichman, Washington: Behind Closed Doors is high-intensity political intrigue at its best.
