Communicating with Medical Patients

Designed to synthesize a growing international and interdisciplinary body of experience, this volume provides a mandate and a charge to medicine to fundamentally transform the traditional clinical method and the social relations it fosters between doctor and patient and between student and teacher. The contributors challenge the medical establishment to change their clinical method from that of a disease-centred to a patient-centred one. Four sections deal with issues related to the doctor's own transformation, the medical interview, teaching and learning, and validation.

"Three short plays for one (female) actor - all featuring mothers on the edge. Two have been staged to great acclaim, the third - a new piece by Catherine Johnson - has yet to be performed. Jordan by Anna Reynolds with Moira Buffini: based on the true story of a young mother who kills her baby boy rather than have him taken away by his abusive father, it won the Writers' Guild Award for Best Fringe Play. The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret by Catherine Johnson: the alternating stories of two women (played by one actress) who 'lose' their sons, one apparently murdered, the other a runaway. Catherine Johnson wrote the book for Mamma Mia! as well as several plays for theatres in London and Bristol. Unsuspecting Susan by Stewart Permutt: a middle-aged, upper-middle-class woman, originally played by Celia Imrie, reveals more than she means to about her increasingly odd 33-year-old son."--BOOK JACKET.

The Biopsychosocial Approach

For thousands of years, Western culture has dichotomized science and art, empiricism and subjective experience, and biology and psychology. In contrast with the prevailing view in philosophy, neuroscience, and literary criticism, George Engel, an internist and practicing physician, published a paper in the journal Science in 1977 entitled "The Need for a New Medical Model: A Challenge for Biomedicine." In the context of clinical medicine, Engel made the deceptively simple observation that actions at the biological, psychological, and social level are dynamically interrelated and that these relationships affect both the process and outcomes of care. The biopsychosocial perspective involves an...
