Multiple studies and weak evidential defeat
Theoretical Medicine - Tập 38 - Trang 353-366 - 2017
When a study shows statistically significant correlation between an exposure and an outcome, the credence of a real connection between the two increases. Should that credence remain the same when it is discovered that further independent studies between the exposure and other independent outcomes were conducted? Matthew Kotzen argues that it should remain the same, even if the results of those fur......
Medicine as business and profession
Theoretical Medicine - Tập 11 - Trang 311-324 - 1990

The ‘helping’ professions
Theoretical Medicine - Tập 3 - Trang 325-335 - 1982
A continuing series of scandals and tragedies is resulting in increasing public disquiet over the practice of the ‘helping’ professions. In the author's view, this disquiet is justified on both theoretical and practical grounds. Current practice is based on a natural-scientific, medical model.
