From the publisher. Hone your ability to provide optimal patient-centred care with the insights into common clinical challenges offered in this collection of case narratives and analyses. The authors examine a range of illnesses and case presentations, and from those they offer stories that challenge the practitioner to reflect on clinical practice and on the true meaning of healing in diverse contexts. Each story emphasizes the concrete steps a practitioner might take to address physical disease while preserving patient dignity and valuing the health and illness experience.

The book presents narratives that illustrate the 4 principal interactive components of the patient-centred method: exploring health, disease, and illness; understanding the whole person; finding common ground; and enhancing the patient-doctor relationship. The final section offers case stories that demonstrate the ways in which these components interact and enhance one another to the benefit of patients and clinicians. This thought-provoking text is relevant to all health care professionals, as well as to medical educators and students.
