The moving memoir of a doctor who became a family caregiver and
learned why care is so central to all our lives 'Beautiful and
deeply moving. A truly extraordinary work that will change how we
think about our lives and the society we live in' Michael Puett,
author of The Path When Dr Arthur Kleinman, an eminent Harvard
psychiatrist and social anthropologist, began caring for his wife,
Joan, after she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease,
he found just how far the act of caregiving extended beyond the
boundaries of medicine. In The Soul of Care, he delivers a deeply
inspiring story about what it means to grapple with illness from
both sides, as an experienced doctor and a loving husband.
Caregiving is long, hard, unglamorous work - at moments joyous,
more often tedious, sometimes agonizing, but always rich in
meaning. Describing the practical, emotional and moral aspects of
caring, Kleinman explores how we must ask uncomfortable questions
of ourselves and of our doctors. Poignant and honest, The Soul of
Care is an uplifting story about what really matters in our lives.
