Science and technology have brought about profound changes in the
way medicine is practiced. These developments save more lives, but
can have a negative impact on psyches and relationships. Thoroughly
examining the way medicine is practised in the 21st century, this
ground-breaking new book emphasizes the interpersonal, subjective
and unconscious processes. It provides important and useful
insights into the many ways patients, families and medical
practitioners are affected by modern medicine. A Psychodynamic
Understanding of Modern Medicine offers profound ways to understand
these issues in all their complexity and depth, and demonstrates
ways to effectively manage difficulties by drawing on
psychoanalytic principles. In so doing, the book directly addresses
topics rarely covered from a psychological perspective, such as
organ donation, assisted suicide requests, impaired mobility,
assisted reproduction, elder abuse, placebos, dialysis units, NICU,
general hospital setting, provider-patient relationship and family
dynamics with chronic illness. The book is highly recommended to
all who are involved with modern medicine. Medical practitioners
will have a better means of understanding psychological and
interpersonal problems that present themselves in various medical
settings. Psychologists and psychiatrists will be more able to
intervene when problems occur, including when they involve the
interaction between practitioner and patient or family. It is also
illuminating reading for students with an interest in medical
anthropology, and social and narrative medicine, and for nurses and
medical social workers.
