An interlocutory logic approach of a case of professional ethics

  • and

Abstract

In this paper, we present some parts of a corpus taken from recordings of a predictive medicine consultation for the test of Huntington’s disease (Batt 2003; Batt & Trognon 2010; Sarangi, Bennert & al. 2004). By mobilizing an “Interlocutory Analysis” (Trognon & Batt 2010; Batt, Trognon & al. 2014), the authors analyze how a patient presents her states of mind (goals, beliefs, desires, trust, hesitations, rejection, etc.) as well as the responses given by the professionals with whom she is speaking. They also analyze the consequences of these relationships on the interactive process. The authors then outline some key ethical constraints specifically imposed by this kind of consultation, which can be compared with some sort of deliberation game.
