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.
