Description
Trade ReviewPatient-Centered Medicine: A Human Experience gives the reader a great overview of biopsychosocial, humanist and psychotherapeutic perspectives of human interconnection and interrelatedness. It combines the enthusiasm of the younger psychiatrist with the wisdom of the older psychiatrist in order to guide students, doctors, nurses and clinicians though training and into practice. Patient-Centered Medicine is also a source of renewal for practicing doctors and clinicians, reminding us why we all went into medicine and health care in the first place. * Dr David R. Kopacz, MD. *
Concise, well written, and informed by a deep understanding of medical training, this book should be a required text in all medical schools. * Susan E. Mehrtens Ph.D, President, The Jungian Center for the Spiritual Sciences *
