About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book is written by and for physicians (and medical students) and explores the existential challenges of the illness experience, the healing process and the nature of the clinical interaction. … This is a thought-provoking book. … this volume has provided many opportunities for reflection. I also found the extensive and up-to-date references very useful. I would recommend this book to those wanting to develop their own practice or to teach others.” (Ofra Fried, Royal Australasian College of Physicians, February, 2012)
“‘It is the internal resources of the individual persons who become patients that constitute the major untapped resource that the whole person care and medicine needs to harness effectively in the twenty-first century.’ … The audience is everyone who is in the practice of medicine … consumer of medical practice. … the book is a very easy read … . extremely worthwhile book to sensitize students to how medicine became what it is today, making it essential to every library associated with a teaching program.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, August, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
