How can a doctor best understand the emotions and behaviour of his
or her patients? An effective and deeply satisfying route is
through an appreciation of literature and the profound
understanding its authors have of the human predicament. In this
extraordinary and enlightening volume general practitioner John
Salinsky guides the reader through some of the world's finest
works. In each chapter he describes a classic novel short story
play or poem revealing them to be easily accessible and enjoyable.
He shows how parallels can be drawn between characters in
literature and in the consulting room. Developed from his
long-running column in the journal Education for Primary Care
(formerly Education in General Practice) Dr Salinsky's book gives
doctors a new perspective on the doctor-patient relationship and
provides unique support to communication skills.
