• Outline the principle of ‘respect for personal autonomy,’ as in the work of Beauchamp and Childress, and as briefly considered in Session Two.

• Connect the principle of personal autonomy and contemporary autonomy debates to broader ethics conversations.

• Carefully consider what freedom might mean within the practitioner-patient space.
