This book explores a new way of applying clinical ethics.
Empathy-based ethics is based on the patient-doctor relationship
and seeks to encourage a more humane form of medical practice. The
author argues that the current emphasis on the biomedical model of
medicine and a detached concern form of professionalism have
damaged the patient-doctor relationship. He investigates examples
of the dehumanization of patients and demonstrates a contrasting
view of humane care. The book presents empathy as a relational
construct - it provides an in-depth analysis of the process of
empathizing. It discusses an empathy-based ethics approach
underpinned by clinical examples of the practical application of
this new approach. It suggests how empathy-based ethics can be
embedded in clinical practice, medical education and research. The
book concludes by examining the challenges in implementing such an
approach and looks to a future which redresses the current
imbalance between biomedical and psychosocial approaches to
medicine.
