To derive benefit from medical care, a patient must be able to trust the physician.This trust exists only to the extent that the patient feels confident that he or she occupies the doctor's central focus at every medical encounter, and that this focus is being used to derive a full measure of healthful benefit.This is the beginning and end of the doctor's work and is best accomplished by every doctor understanding and maximizing each element of the doctor - patient relationship.These elements of the doctor - patient relationship are carefully dissected in this book, and then illustrated with consequential and true case histories of patients. The science to these elements - for example, the methods of clinical reasoning - are succinctly described, but always the elements are artfully illustrated by descriptions of their real-life application to human beings. That these cases celebrate the grace and courage and resiliency of individual patients is no accident, as a doctor's patients represent worthy brothers and sisters, fellow travelers walking the lonesome valley of an individual human life, affected by both illnesses and triumphs of all sorts. Their stories offer practical insights for all readers, not just for physicians or prospective physicians, and I hope some of them make you smile.Because of the burgeoning complexities of medicine and the social contexts in which medicine is practiced, multiple physicians are often involved in the care of a patient, something which has become quite evident in the recent Covid 19 pandemic. However, each physician involved in the care of a patient at a particular moment in time has the responsibility to understand and respect the ideals of the doctor - patient relationship, to maintain and fortify it, even if the next visit is with yet another, different physician, thus enabling the doctor - patient relationship to be the vehicle that transports the patient some distance down a path towards feeling better, a path towards a medical outcome that is helpful, sometimes healing, and always hopeful.We live in a time when there are powerful and complex forces undermining the doctor - patient relationship, the most important of which is the lack of available medical care for poor people, preventing them from having the benefit of the doctor - patient relationship in the first place. We have seen this vividly in the aftermath of Covid 19; none of the patients who ended up dying alone in the Old Soldier's Home in Massachusetts or piled up and hidden in nursing homes in New Jersey or New York City had a good doctor.There are other forces undermining the doctor - patient relationship that are not so brutally apparent but threaten both patients and their doctors; we would do well to identify and combat these, together.

The encounter between patient and physician may be characterized as the focus of medicine. As such, the patient-physician relationship, or more accurately the conduct of patients and physicians, has been the subject of considerable comment, inquiry, and debate throughout the centuries. The issues and concerns discussed, apart from those more specifically related to medical theory and therapy, range from matters of etiquette to profound questions of philosophical and moral interest. This discourse is impressive with respect both to its duration and content. Contemporary scholars and laypeople have made their contribution to these long-standing discussions. In addition, they have actively addressed those distinctively modern issues that have arisen as a result of increased medical knowledge, improved technology, and changing cultural and moral expectation. The concept of the patient-physician rela tionship that supposedly provides a framework for the conduct of patients and physicians seemingly has taken on a life of its own, inviolable, and subject to norms particular to it. The essays in this volume elucidate the nature of the patient-physician relationship, its character, and moral norms appropriate to it. The purpose of the collection is to enhance our understanding of that context, which many consider to be the focus of the entire medical enterprise. The con tributors have not engaged in apologetics, polemics, homiletics, or em piricism.

For many doctors, their role as powerful healer precludes thoughts of ever getting sick themselves. When they do, it initiates a profound shift of awareness-- not only in their sense of their selves, which is invariably bound up with the "invincible doctor" role, but in the way that they view their patients and the doctor-patient relationship. While some books have been written from first-person perspectives on doctors who get sick-- by Oliver Sacks among them-- and TV shows like "House" touch on the topic, never has there been a "systematic, integrated look" at what the experience is like for doctors who get sick, and what it can teach us about our current health care system and more broadly, the experience of becoming ill. The psychiatrist Robert Klitzman here weaves together gripping first-person accounts of the experience of doctors who fall ill and see the other side of the coin, as a patient. The accounts reveal how dramatic this transformation can be-- a spiritual journey for some, a radical change of identity for others, and for some a new way of looking at the risks and benefits of treatment options. For most however it forever changes the way they treat their own patients. These questions are important not just on a human interest level, but for what they teach us about medicine in America today. While medical technology advances, the health care system itself has become more complex and frustrating, and physician-patient trust is at an all-time low. The experiences offered here are unique resource that point the way to a more humane future.

Historically, the doctor-patient relationship has been based on a one-way trust--despite recent judicial attempts to give patients a greater voice. Seeing a growing need for more honest and complete communication between physician and patient, Dr. Jay Katz advocates a new, informed dialogue that respects the rights and needs of both sides. A new Preface outlines changes since the book's publication in 1984.

This book serves to unite biomedical principles, which have been criticized as a model for solving moral dilemmas by inserting them and understanding them through the perspective of the phenomenon of health care relationship. Consequently, it attributes a possible unification of virtue-based and principle-based approaches.

Patient-Centered Medicine: A Human Experience emphasizes the health professional's role in caring for patients as unique individuals by focusing on the patients' psychological and social realities as well as their biological needs. The book concerns itself with caring for the whole patient, and outlines the basic principles involved in developing a biopsychosocial approach to medical practice. This is a volume of guidelines that will help medical students and clinicians develop and master basic attitudes and skills essential to providing empathic and comprehensive medical care. As Norman Cousins writes in the foreword, 'The authors understand and repeatedly demonstrate in this book, that the patient-physician relationship is a powerful, sometimes mysterious, frequently healing interaction between human beings. It is the person of the doctor and the presence of the doctor-just as much and frequently more than-what the doctor does that creates an environment for healing. The physician represents restoration. The physician holds the lifeline.' Since the book's original publication by University Park Press in 1984, greater awareness and acceptance of the biopsychosocial model has occurred, and medical schools are now working to fully integrate psychosocial education into the clinical curriculum.

What moral and legal issues are involved in the physician-patient relationship? What is bioethics? What social and environmental factors are involved in health and disease? An interdisciplinary workshop of the Calgary Institute for the Humanities in May 1980 considered these issues, as well as health care delivery, the history of public health in Canada, conflicting "health cultures," and responsibilities of professionals on the health care team. Participating in the conference were prominent scholars and professionals in social edicine, community health, nursing, law, medical research, medical education, and various academic disciplines. They included Dr. Thomas McKeown, Dr. David Roy, Professor Hazel Weidman, Professor Benjamin Freedman, Dr. Anthony Lam, and Dr. Robert Hatfield.
