Description

Book Synopsis
Although the subject of federally mandated Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) has been extensively debated, we actually do not know much about what takes place when they convene. This book melds observations of IRB meetings with the history of how rules for the treatment of human subjects were formalized in the United States.

Trade Review
"Behind Closed Doors is a novel and important addition to the literature on the governance of experimentation on human subjects. It will appeal to academic scholars in the history of science and medicine, sociology, bioethics, and postwar American history." (Gerald Kutcher, author of Contested Medicine: Cancer Research and the Military)"
