    Beyond empathy: clinical intimacy in nursing practice.Timothy W. Kirk - 2007 - Nursing Philosophy 8 (4):233-243.
    Understanding, shared meaning, and mutual trust lie at the heart of the therapeutic nurse–patient relationship. This article introduces the concept of clinical intimacy by applying the interpersonal process model of intimacy to the nurse–patient relationship. The distinction between complementary and reciprocal behaviours, and between intimate interactions and intimate relationships, addresses background concerns about the appropriateness of intimacy in nursing relationships. The mutual construction of meaning in the interactive process between nurses and patients is seen to lie at the heart of (...)

    A Fading Decision.Ross Fewing, Timothy W. Kirk & Alan Meisel - 2014 - Hastings Center Report 44 (3):14-16.
    Mrs. F, seventy‐five, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. She and her spouse often discussed how to handle the progression of the disease. She was adamant about not coming to the point where she would be unable to recognize herself, her husband, or their son and daughter. The manner she chose was voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED), and she chose a specific date on which to carry out her plan. She asked her husband to promise, should she ever waver and request (...)

    Hospice Ethics: Policy and Practice in Palliative Care.Timothy W. Kirk & Bruce Jennings (eds.) - 2014 - Oxford: Oxford University Press.
    This book identifies and explores ethical themes in the structure and delivery of hospice care in the United States. As the fastest growing sector in the US healthcare system, in which over forty percent of patients who die each year receive care in their final weeks of life, hospice care presents complex ethical opportunities and challenges for patients, families, clinicians, and administrators. Thirteen original chapters, written by seventeen hospice experts, offer guidance and analysis that promotes best ethical practice for hospice (...)

  5. Introduction.Timothy W. Kirk & Bruce Jennings - 2014 - In Timothy W. Kirk & Bruce Jennings (eds.), Hospice Ethics: Policy and Practice in Palliative Care. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
    This chapter introduces readers to the aims and scope of the book. Readers are given the social and scholarly context in which the book emerges. The introduction suggests that the history and philosophy of hospice care contain moral values that can be resonant or dissonant with larger social values, giving those who work in hospice organizations an important place in the national discussion about terminal care. Finally, it offers a brief explanation of the goals of each chapter in the book.

    Nursing, spirituality, and the work of Paley and Pesut.Timothy W. Kirk - 2019 - Nursing Philosophy 20 (4):e12261.
    I have been reading Nursing Philosophy since its inception in 2000. Indeed, the journal has played an important role in the development of my thinking—from a doctoral student in philosophy to the pres‐ent day. The invitation to write an article commentary as an editorial board member presented an opportunity to look over previous issues (including well‐worn paper copies from the years before it became a digital‐only publication), a task I have relished over the first months of 2019. Despite my long (...)

    The Meaning, Limitations and Possibilities of Making Palliative Care a Public Health Priority by Declaring it a Human Right.Timothy W. Kirk - 2011 - Public Health Ethics 4 (1):84-92.
    There is a growing movement to increase access to palliative care by declaring it a human right. Calls for such a right—in the form of articles in the healthcare literature and pleas to the United Nations and World Health Organization—rarely define crucial concepts involved in such a declaration, in particular ‘palliative care’ and ‘human right’. This paper explores how such concepts might be more fully developed, the difficulties in using a human rights approach to promote palliative care, and the relevance (...)
