Compassion draws physicians into medicine, but then they believe
they must jettison that compassion to survive. Paradoxically,
science has now shown that losing that compassion not only harms
the patient, it also harms the doctor. How Doctors Care: The
Science of Compassionate and Balanced Caring in Medicine explains
what physicians and other clinicians can do to provide balanced and
compassionate caring for patients without becoming emotionally
detached or overwhelmed. The text provides a research-informed and
non-sentimental description of physician/clinician compassion.
Bringing together cutting-edge scientific research for practicing
physicians and those in training, How Doctors Care provides the
first full articulation of what constitutes optimal compassionate
mental performance in the practice of medicine. It argues how
maintaining this internal state is the key to physician resilience
and fulfillment in a dysfunctional healthcare system. Rather than
blaming clinicians for burnout, How Doctors Care argues that
healthcare organizations must provide organizational protection and
support to clinicians so that they are able to maintain the
compassionate internal state they desire so much and that benefits
patients the most.
