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' with ISBN 9780803956896 and ISBN 0803956894.
