As usually understood, professional ethics consists of shared duties and episodic dilemmas: the responsibilities incumbent on all members of specific professions, together with the dilemmas that arise when these responsibilities conflict.

Taking these personal commitments seriously expands professional ethics to include neglected issues about moral psychology, character an the virtues, self-fulfillment and betrayal, and the interplay of private and professional life.
