Abstract

This article examines the process of setting goals for patient treatment in rehabilitation. It explores ethical considerations and moral conflict inherent to the formulation of patient goals, and it provides a framework to help resolve such conflicts. Goal setting is also considered within the larger context of justice in the use of medical resources.
