This innovative book concentrates on the important distinction
between philosophy of medicine and medical philosophy, by expanding
the focus from knowing that of the first term to the knowing how of
the latter. Thus, the idea of patient and provider self-discovery
becomes integral part, method, and strategy at the basis of
therapeutic treatment. Among the most important contributions of
this volume, the definition of Central Medicine, overcoming the
dichotomy Western-Eastern medicine and Traditional-Integrative
approaches, is presented under the lenses of hermeneutics, with
particular regards to neurosciences, psychiatry, and psychology.
Evidence-Based and Patient-Centred Medicine are analysed within the
debate on placebo and non-specific effects. Furthermore, the
clinical research presented in the appendix investigates the
patient-doctor relationship, and the interactive nature of human
relationships in general, including environment, personal beliefs,
and perspectives on lifes meaning and purpose. Tomasis research
covers neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and medicine. In this
book, a wide array of questions and answers pertaining to these
areas is presented in a clear, readable, and detailed way,
satisfying the needs of professionals, students, and anyone who
enjoys the exploration of the complexity of human mind, brain, and
heart.
