Something is missing in contemporary health and social care. Health
and illness is often measured in policy documents in economic
terms, and clinical outcomes are enmeshed in statistical data, with
the patient's experience left to one side. This stimulating book is
concerned with how to humanise health and social care and keep the
person at the centre of practice. Caring and Well-Being opens by
articulating Galvin and Todres' innovative framework for humanising
health care and closes with a synthesis of their argument and a
discussion of how this can be applied in healthcare policy and
practice. It: presents an innovative lifeworld-led approach to the
humanisation of care; explores the concept of well-being and its
relationship to suffering and outlines the rationale for a focus on
them within this approach; discusses how the framework can be
applied and how health and social practitioners can draw on
aesthetic and empathic avenues to help develop their capacity for
care; provides direction for policy, practice and education.
Investigating what it means to be human in a health and social care
context and what the things that make us feel more human are, this
book presents new perspectives about how professionals can enhance
their capacity for humanly sensitive care. It is a valuable work
for all those interested in ideas about care and caring in a health
and social context, including psychologists, doctors and nurses.
