Practicing the Medical Humanities:
Engaging Physicians and Patients
Edited by Ronald R. Carson, Chester R. Burns, and Thomas R. Cole
What
can the humanities contribute to the practice of medicine?
How, in practice, can this contribution strengthen physician-patient
relationships, improve medical education, and
improve patient care?
The
editors seek to engage physicians, humanists, and patients in a conversation
addressing these two critical questions, and
readers are asked to consider the future of the medical humanities and their
goals:
What are the possibilities for the renewal of the humanist tradition of
practical wisdom, tolerance, and compassion?
And what would this mean for the practice of medicine?
