A Field Guide to Good Decisions: Values in Action (2006. Co-authored with Mark D. Bennett)
Decision making is always personal. When we face tough choices, what we decide reveals what really matters to us; how we decide determines whether we succeed or fail. This book provides the skills to make decisions that reflect one's core values while respecting the values of others. It offers practical tools and techniques for identifying individual and common goals, reaching consensus, and communicating the results effectively. The steps toward a good decision are the same: know your values, engage others to understand theirs, and communicate with respect and candor. Simple in concept, not so easy in practice--this book will help you reach the best decision possible.

Health Care Ethics Committees: The Next Generation (1993. Co-Authors: Ross, Bayley, Glaser, Rasinski-Gregory, Gibson)
Approximately 85% of hospitals now have ethics committees. However, this statistic says little about the efficiency and importance of these committees in their institutions. Frequently, ethics committees exist more in name than in practice, and are left without the guidance and help of their institution. This book provides a plethora of advice, including possible projects and activities, suggestions for making meetings more effective, insights into policy-making, and models for mission statements and goals. In addition, this book gives leaders a panoramic view of the past, present, and future of ethics committees in health care.
