Although \"respect\" and \"dignity\" are intuitive concepts, little formal work has addressed their systematic application in the ICU setting. After convening a multidisciplinary group of relevant experts, we undertook a review of relevant literature and collaborative discussions focused on the practice of respect in the ICU. We report the output of this process, including a summary of current knowledge, a conceptual framework, and a research program for understanding and improving the practice of respect and dignity in the ICU. We separate our report into findings and proposals. Findings include the following: 1) dignity and respect are interrelated; 2) ICU patients and families are vulnerable to disrespect; 3) violations of respect and dignity appear to be common in the ICU and overlap substantially with dehumanization; 4) disrespect may be associated with both primary and secondary harms; and 5) systemic barriers complicate understanding and the reliable practice of respect in the ICU. Proposals include: 1) initiating and/or expanding a field of research on the practice of respect in the ICU; 2) treating \"failures of respect\" as analogous to patient safety events and using existing quality and safety mechanisms for improvement; and 3) identifying both benefits and potential unintended consequences of efforts to improve the practice of respect. Respect and dignity are important considerations in the ICU, even as substantial additional research remains to be done.

A short story for children is presented.

Eight children's books on CD-ROM are reviewed, including Houghton Mifflin Interactive Corp's Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, Curious George ABC Adventure, and The Polar Express.

Butler reviews Dorling Kindersley's CD-ROM version of \"The Way Things Work,\" a children's book by David Macaulay.

Children's books often undergo structural changes when adapted by filmmakers into movies, and sometimes the resulting movie is only tangentially related to the book. Several film adaptations are described, including 'I Am the Cheese' and 'Sarah, Plain and Tall.'
