Patient-Centered Medicine: Transforming the Clinical Method

Emphasizing an holistic philosophy, this important book encourages practitioners to surpass treatment based strictly on a one-dimensional, biomedical assessment of their patients. Among the topics covered are: conceptualizations of ill-health; consideration of the patient as an individual; the establishment of goals and cooperative strategy between physician and patient; and the realistic allocation of time, energy, and other resources of the health care provider.Stewart, Moira is the author of 'Patient-Centered Medicine: Transforming the Clinical Method', published 1995 under ISBN 9780803956889 and ISBN 0803956886.
