The foundation of patient-centered care is the patient-professional
relationship. By exploring both the disease and patients' unique
experience of illness, healthcare professionals take into
consideration their individual needs as well as their emotional and
physical concerns. Using narratives to describe experiences of
patients and professionals, this book reveals the four interactive
components of the patient-centered clinical method: exploring
health, disease and illness; understanding the whole person;
finding common ground; and enhancing the patient-doctor
relationship. The concluding chapters illustrate ways in which all
four components interact with and complement each other and can be
used in unison to the immeasurable benefit of both patient and
professional. The stimulating narratives are all based on recent
developments in the theoretical model of patient-centred clinical
care. This wide-ranging, thought-provoking text is highly relevant
to a wide range of healthcare professionals as well as medical
educators and healthcare students. For physicians, narratives
provide insight and illumination of what it truly means to be
patient-centered. They also help clinicians to examine, in a
reflective manner, what it means to be a healer. From the
